The following developments illustrate the complicated legal nature of the Thomas Cook UK bankruptcy. Continental European subsidiaries are doing all they can to avoid being dragged into forfeiture. They are striving to establish themselves independently, in cases securing necessary provisional bridging loans based on their independent financial stability. And in the case of Thomas Cook Germany, they are filing bankruptcy in order to extricate themselves from the assets of Thomas Cook UK.
