GENERAL INSOLVENCY LANDSCAPE IN GERMANY PRE-COVID-19
Without undue delay upon occurrence of illiquidity or overindebtedness, at the latest within three weeks, members of the representing body of a legal entity have to apply for the opening of insolvency proceedings over the assets of such entity
INSOLVENCY REASONS:
In a highly anticipated decision issued last Thursday (on December 19, 2019), the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held in In re Millennium Lab Holdings II, LLC that a bankruptcy court may constitutionally confirm a chapter 11 plan of reorganization that contains nonconsensual third-party releases. The court considered whether, pursuant to the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Stern v. Marshall, 564 U.S. 462 (2011), Article III of the United States Constitution prohibits a bankruptcy court from granting such releases.
