In 2015 oordeelde de Hoge Raad dat een curator met succes in verzet kan komen tegen een faillissement dat op eigen aangifte van de rechtspersoon is uitgesproken. Er was in dit geval sprake van een (bijna) lege boedel en er bestond geen verwachting dat er gedurende het faillissement nog activa konden worden gegenereerd. De curator zou de afwikkelingskosten van het faillissement daardoor niet vergoed krijgen uit de boedel, maar zou deze kosten zelf moeten dragen.

Op 2 juni 2017 heeft de Hoge Raad bepaald dat het adviesrecht van de ondernemingsraad in beginsel ook van toepassing is in faillissementen. De curator zal daarom de ondernemingsraad in beginsel in de gelegenheid moeten stellen om zich over een voorgenomen doorstart uit te laten.
