    Newsletter Restructuring - Do creditors have the odds in their favour?
    2018-04-12

    1. It is hard to get rid of this preconceived idea that unlike other systems, the French insolvency system (excessively) favours debtors at the expense of their creditors.

    Some recent decisions make it possible to question this idea.

    These decisions deal with the conditions required for the approval of a safeguard plan and are warnings to debtors that might be tempted to force their plan through.

    Safeguard proceedings end with the court-approval of a restructuring plan when there are serious chances of rescuing the business (French Commercial Code, Art. L.626-1).

    Opérations de dissolution sans liquidation : le tribunal administratif de Montreuil apporte des précisions
    2018-04-26

    TA Montreuil 18-1-2018 n°1701374

    Le tribunal administratif de Montreuil apporte des précisions dans le cadre des opérations de dissolution sans liquidation.

    D’une part, il étend la solution rendue en matière de fusions aux transmissions universelles de patrimoine en jugeant que les charges et les dettes nées chez l’absorbée avant la fusion sont prise en compte pour le calcul de la rémunération des apports et doivent donc être considérées comme un élément du prix d’acquisition et non comme une charge se rapportant à la gestion de l’absorbante.

    Insolvency Proceedings: ordinance adapting the French Code de commerce to the EU Regulation of May 2015 on insolvency proceedings
    2018-04-27

    Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (recast) (the “Recast Insolvency Regulation“) applies to insolvency proceedings opened after 26 June 2017. Ordinance of 2 November 2017 (the “Ordinance“) amended the French Code de commerce to reflect the Recast Insolvency Regulation by inserting a new Title IX into Book VI.

    Next steps for French insolvency proceedings
    2018-07-19

    The European regulation of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (the “Insolvency Regulation”) came into force a year ago, significantly modifying European insolvency law. An ordinance published in November 2017 started the process of adapting French law to reflect the requirements of the Insolvency Regulation. A decree of 5 June 2018 (the “Decree”) modifying the regulatory part of Book VI of the French Code de Commerce is the final piece in the jigsaw.

    Restructurations : sécuriser le motif du licenciement et préserver l’emploi
    2017-02-10

    Une nouvelle définition du motif économique de licenciement

    La Loi Travail a intégré, à compter du 1er décembre 2016, deux nouveaux motifs de licenciement économique consacrés par la jurisprudence : la réorganisation de l’entreprise nécessaire à la sauvegarde de sa compétitivité et la cessation d’activité. La Loi Travail a également précisé la notion de difficultés économiques à l’aide d’indicateurs tels que la baisse significative des commandes ou du chiffre d’affaires ou encore l’augmentation des pertes d’exploitation (article L.1233- 3 du Code du travail).
