This document flips the switch, activating the legal framework that allows Australian courts to cooperate with foreign courts in cross-border bankruptcies and corporate insolvencies."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/cross-border-insolvency-act-2008-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/cross-border-insolvency-act-2008-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/cross-border-insolvency-act-2008-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/cross-border-insolvency-act-2008-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/cross-border-insolvency-act-2008-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/cross-border-insolvency-act-2008-proclamation/documents"}}
