    Implementing the Restructuring Directive in Austria
    2021-06-14

    Austria is gearing up to implement the EU Directive on Restructuring and Insolvency (known as the Restructuring Directive). We anticipate that the Restructuring Regulation (ReO) will enter into force on 17 July 2021.

    The core element of the Restructuring Directive (and of the implementing law) is the promotion of a new restructuring procedure, to avoid the need for formal insolvency proceedings.

    Austrian Supreme Court clarifies bank deposit guarantee scheme
    2023-02-08

    Background

    Under the deposit guarantee scheme, deposits with Austrian banks are generally protected on a bank's insolvency, up to EUR 100,000. This sum may be higher in certain cases, for example, for sums deposited from the sale of a private residential property within 12 months before the insolvency, the guaranteed amount is EUR 500,000.

    Austria to implement directive on preventive restructuring frameworks
    2021-04-08

    Austria is moving forward with plans to implement the directive on preventive restructuring frameworks. The draft new law implementing the changes was published in February 2021.

    The focus of the draft law is to introduce preventive restructuring proceedings. This will provide a structure for pre-insolvency restructuring to allow for the cram-down of dissenting creditors provided certain conditions are met.

    Key points of the current draft

    Die Umsetzung der Restrukturierungsrichtlinie in Österreich
    2021-03-17

    Worum geht es?

    Das derzeit in der Begutachtungsphase befindliche Restrukturierungs- und Insolvenz Richtlinie-Umsetzungsgesetz (RIRL-UG) soll, wie auch der Name schon andeutet, die EU-Richtlinie über Restrukturierung und Insolvenz (kurz zumeist nur Restrukturierungsrichtlinie genannt) in Österreich umsetzen.

    Kernelement der Restrukturierungsrichtlinie und damit auch des geplanten Umsetzungsgesetzes, das Restrukturierungsordnung (ReO) heißen soll, ist eine dem Insolvenzverfahren vorgelagerte präventive Restrukturierung.
