    Privileged nature of tax debts on the basis of article 37 of the Act on Continuity of Enterprises continues to be a hot topic
    2015-11-30

    Article 37 of the Act on Continuity of Enterprises states that "claims against the debtor related to services provided by its co-contractor during a judicial reorganization are to be qualified as privileged claims in a subsequent bankruptcy". Both the doctrine and case law are divided as to how this article should be interpreted, in particular whether or not only a direct co-contractor of the debtor can invoke the privileged nature of its claim. This discussion is particularly relevant with regard to claims for advance business tax, VAT claims and other tax debts.

    France names 18 Specialised Commercial Courts to deal with Largest Insolvencies
    2015-12-30

    The Macron law of 7 August 2015, named after the current Minister of the Economy, anticipated the establishment of specialised commercial courts which will process the most complex insolvency proceedings. Currently, any of the 134 French commercial courts can be applied to; the choice being mainly the location of the distressed company’s headquarters. This new arrangement aims to improve efficiency and to increase the number of specialised judges (because in France, commercial judges are lay judges). The aim of the reform is to save jobs.

    Bail commercial : effets d’une saisie-gagerie en cas de faillite du locataire
    2016-02-22

    Par jugement du 16 février 2016, rendu en matière de bail commercial, le Tribunal de Paix s’est prononcé (à notre connaissance pour la première fois au Luxembourg) sur la question des effets d’une saisie-gagerie en cas de faillite de son locataire.

    Dans ce dossier, le bailleur avait pratiqué une saisie-gagerie avant la mise en faillite du locataire et a demandé par la suite après la faillite la conversion de la saisie-gagerie en saisie‑exécution ainsi que la résiliation du contrat de bail.
