The Fletcher International Insolvency Law Moot or Fletcher Moot is an international moot court competition on international insolvency law and international commercial litigation organised by Queensland University of Technology. The moot, which is named after Professor Ian Fletcher, was established in 2017 as the first ever moot on cross-border insolvency law.[1][2]
There is one qualifying written round, and the oral round finals are held in conjunction with conference proceedings organised by, among others, INSOL International and the International Insolvency Institute. Each team argues in up to four preliminary matches, with the top four teams qualifying for the knockout stages.
