Bankruptcy and restructuring of groups of companies is currently one of the most significant problems in the field of bankruptcy law and restructuring law. Companies are increasingly operating in multi-entity structures.

In accordance with art. 190 section 5 of the Act of 15 May 2015. - Restructuring law, the court may combine for the consideration of cases pending with related entities. In the Bankruptcy law, the same regulation is provided for in art. 215 section 5. These regulations, however, are of a residua nature and do not solve all problems that arise in the practice of bankruptcy or restructuring of groups of companies.
The main scientific objective:
The main scientific objective of the project is to create a model of the course of bankruptcy proceedings and restructuring proceedings conducted against related entities and to define the basic principles of cooperation between the bodies of bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings conditioning the efficient and effective conduct of proceedings against groups of entities.

The dogmatic method will be used to analyze the Bankruptcy and the Restructuring Law, justifications and other documents connected with the course of the legislative process. Empirical research will include the analysis of files.
