Avoidance action is an umbrella term for adversary proceedings that seek to unwind or avoid transactions that occurred before an insolvency filing. These actions are also referred to as “claw-back claims” because, by undoing a transaction, an asset or value is being clawed back into the insolvency estate.
Un Juzgado de lo Mercantil aprueba, por primera vez, la modificación de un convenio concursal al amparo de la normativa de medidas procesales y organizativas para hacer frente al COVID-19 en el ámbito de la administración de justicia.
El Auto del Juzgado de lo Mercantil nº10 de Barcelona, del pasado 29 de julio, ha permitido el nombramiento de un administrador antes del concurso para facilitar la venta de la unidad productiva antes de la declaración de concurso. Con ello, se ha permitido una medida equivalente al “pre-pack” anglosajón, favoreciendo una liquidación más eficiente y evitando incrementar el pasivo de la concursada.
El Tribunal Supremo, aun admitiendo la vertiente resarcitoria de la cláusula penal, rechaza que tenga eficacia sancionadora para el deudor en concurso. En consecuencia, se sostiene que el interés del concurso sirva como factor de moderación de las cláusulas penales.
