Cuestión no resuelta —y generadora de dispares opiniones—, se afronta en esta nota cómo han de ser, o no, reconocidos en el quorum y en el voto de la disposición adicional cuarta de la Ley Concursal los acreedores condicionales y los litigiosos.

Concedida una subvención pública, fue posteriormente anulada en vía administrativa, con resolución que obligaba a devolver su importe. Entretanto el beneficiario de la subvención había sido declarado en concurso. Las dos instancias judiciales entendieron que la deuda de restitución es una deuda de la masa, por haber tenido lugar su devengo después de la declaración de concurso.

Se explora la posibilidad de que los acreedores financieros de la masa del concurso puedan solicitar una homologación judicial de un acuerdo de refinanciación de sus créditos contra la empresa ya consursada.

 Se examina, en concreto, el supuesto de que se acuerde el régimen de suspensión de facultades y la administración concursal decide no hacer operativa en la primera instancia la sustitución prevista en la ley.

The Government Ordinance no. 10/2004 on the bankruptcy of credit institutions has been recently amended by the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 12/2012, published in the Official Journal no. 593 dated 20 August 2012.
