    Debt-to-equity swaps in the context of reorganisation proceedings and the transposition of the EU Directive on preventive restructuring frameworks
    2022-02-07

    When a company faces financial distress, concessions are to be made and decisions to be taken in view of its turnaround. In the ordinary course of business, the shareholders bear the entrepreneurial risks and have the ultimate decision-making power. In judicial reorganisation proceedings, the risk and also the decision-making power, is shifted to the creditors as they are the ones having to make the efforts and concessions.

    Conservatory measures despite the freezing of assets under EU sanctions?
    2021-12-15

    On 11 November 2021, the CJEU (C-340/20) ruled that the freezing of assets and economic resources under the EU restrictive measures (economic sanctions) precludes protective measures by creditors. Therefore, creditors should proactively seek protective measures or rely on a sanctions regime’s exception.

    Why you should include a retention of title clause in your terms and conditions?
    2021-11-30

    Sellers and suppliers of movable assets can avoid problems caused by poorly-paying customers through a retention of title clause.

    This clause makes it contractually possible to stipulate that ownership of a certain good does not transfer until the purchaser has paid the full price.

    Pourquoi prévoir une clause de réserve de Propriété dans vos conditions générales
    2021-11-30

    Les vendeurs et les fournisseurs de biens mobiliers peuvent faire face aux problèmes rencontrés avec des clients mauvais payeurs par l’insertion d’une clause de réserve de propriété.

    Par cette clause, il peut notamment être prévu contractuellement que le droit de propriété d'un certain bien ne sera transféré qu'après paiement intégral du prix par l’acheteur.

    Waarom voorziet u best een eigendomsvoorbehoud in uw algemene voorwaarden?
    2021-11-30

    Verkopers en leveranciers van roerende goederen kunnen problemen met slecht betalende klanten voorkomen via een beding van eigendomsvoorbehoud.

    Met dit beding kan men namelijk contractueel bepalen dat het eigendomsrecht op een bepaald goed pas overgaat nadat de derde-verkrijger er de prijs volledig van heeft betaald.

    Erkenning van schemes of arrangement en restructuring plans in België post-Brexit
    2021-10-27

    Sinds 1 januari 2021 zijn de Europese insolventieverordening en Brussel Ibis Verordening niet langer van toepassing op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Bovendien voorziet de handels- en samenwerkingsovereenkomst tussen de EU en het VK niet in een specifiek erkennings- of tenuitvoerleggingsmechanisme met betrekking tot grensoverschrijdende insolventie- en herstructureringsprocedures na Brexit. De vraag rijst dus of en onder welke voorwaarden Belgische rechtbanken Engelse schemes of arrangement en restructuring plans zullen erkennen na Brexit.

    Recognition of UK schemes and restructuring plans in Belgium post-Brexit
    2021-10-27

    Since 1 January 2021, the European Insolvency Regulation and the Brussels I Recast Regulation no longer apply to the United Kingdom. In addition, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement does not provide any specific recognition or enforcement mechanism in relation to cross-border insolvency and restructuring proceedings following Brexit. The question thus arises if and under which conditions Belgian courts will continue to recognise UK schemes of arrangement and restructuring plans post Brexit.

    “Charades!” - Brussels Court of Appeal Upholds Attachment Order Against Kazakhstan's National Fund
    2021-09-23

    On 29 June 2021, the Court of Appeal of Brussels handed down a decision in proceedings between the Republic of Kazakhstan (“Kazakhstan”), the National Bank of Kazakhstan (“NBK”) and four creditors (the “Creditors”).

    In 2013, the Creditors had obtained an arbitral award ordering Kazakhstan to pay an amount of USD 508 million as compensation for damages suffered by the Creditors due to a harassment campaign led by Kazakhstan.

    Restructuring plan and rescue aid for TAROM: European Commission opens in-depth investigation
    2021-07-16

    The European Commission decided on 5 July 2021 to open an in-depth investigation into the restructuring plan of the airline TAROM notified by Romania in May 2021, as well as into the EUR 190 million aid to support it under the Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring undertakings in difficulty.

    The Romanian airline TAROM has been in financial difficulties for many years. In February 2020, the Commission approved rescue aid of EUR 36.7 million in favour of the airline in the context of a Romanian notification.

    Éviter la dissolution judiciaire de votre entreprise ? Faites le dépôt de vos comptes annuels à temps
    2021-06-28

    Le dépôt des comptes annuels est l'une des obligations légales les plus importantes pour les sociétés. En effet, à défaut du dépôt des comptes (dans le délai légal), la responsabilité des administrateurs peut être engagée. Ce manquement peut entraîner de lourdes conséquences ... même si cela ne se produit qu’une fois. Et un homme ou une femme prévenue(e) en vaut deux. Il va de soi que vous ne voulez pas vous réveiller avec une société qui a été dissoute judiciairement alors que vous y avez encore des actifs et des activités.
