    Coronavirus: Significant changes in German civil and insolvency law
    2020-03-31

    The Law to mitigate the consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic in civil, insolvency and criminal procedure law ("Gesetz zur Abmilderung der Folgen der COVID-19-Pandemie im Zivil-, Insolvenz- und Strafverfahrensrecht") was adopted by the German Bundestag on 25 March and approved by the Bundesrat representing the federal states on 27 March 2020. With its draft published by the German Federal government on 23 March 2020, the implementation was probably the fastest legislative procedure of such scope in the history of the Federal Republic.

    Reform des Insolvenzanfechtungsrechts

    Das Gesetz zur Reform des Insolvenzanfechtungsrechts ist am 05.04.2017 in Kraft getreten. Im Fokus steht mit § 133 InsO die sogenannte Voranfechtung, die bislang in ihrer Ausprägung durch die Rechtsprechung des Bundesgerichtshofs in der Kritik stand. Im Ergebnis musste ein Gläubiger so bereits dann mit einer Insolvenzanfechtung durch den Insolvenzverwalter rechnen, wenn er seinem Schuldner eine Ratenzahlung gewährte.

    Upheaval in the German Restructuring Market - Need-to-know Facts and Alternative Tools
    2017-02-16

    To date, a debt waiver has been frequently used as a tool to successfully restructure German based companies in financial difficulties. A decision of the German Federal Fiscal Court (Bundesfinanzhof) published on February 8, 2017 currently limits such an option, given that it held that one of the main instruments used by tax authorities to grant relief from an otherwise taxable cancellation of debt income (CODI) in the form of the so-called Restructuring Decree (Sanierungserlass) violates fundamental constitutional rights.
