Ranking of claims payable to the government in respect of refunded subsidies depends on when they were granted
Judgment by the Supreme Court (Chamber One), November 20, 2018
Chronological parameters must be used when classifying claims arising from the obligation to refund subsidies. Accordingly, if the subsidies were granted before the insolvency order, the claim in respect of the refunded subsidy must be a pre-insolvency claim whereas if the subsidy was granted after the insolvency order, the claim for the refund must be a post-insolvency claim.
