Bert Jansen is working on a dissertation with the working title 'De benoeming van de insolventiedeskundige'.
Since 2019, Art. 26 EU Directive on Restructuring and Insolvency sets conditions regarding the appointment, training and dismissal of insolvency experts (in the Netherlands the receiver, the administrator SvB, the administrator Wsnp, the restructuring expert and the observer). For example, the procedure regarding appointment and dismissal should be "clear, transparent and fair. In his PhD research, Bert Jansen investigates what these conditions entail, whether the Netherlands meets them, and if not, what changes could be made to still meet them.
