Introduced ten years ago as a response to the 2008 financial crisis, the bill of law on the preservation of undertakings and the modernisation of bankruptcy law (the “Bill of Law”) was finally adopted on 19 July 2023 after a long and eventful parliamentary process. Greatly inspired by Belgian law, it implements Directive (EU) 2019/1023 on restructuring and insolvency. Its main objective is to favour early restructuring and to avoid bankruptcy.
