A Creditor did not register his claim against a debtor in insolvency proceedings due to missing information concerning the publication of the debtor's bankruptcy in the Insolvency Register. The creditor regularly searched for information regarding the debtor´s potential bankruptcy in the insolvency register and was always informed that a resolution on the debtor´s bankruptcy had not been made.
The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented disruptions across the global economy, perhaps most severely in the retail sector. Shelter-in-place orders, government-mandated closures and other restrictions drastically reduced or entirely wiped out revenue streams, resulting in an increased number of bankruptcy filings by retail debtors.
Introduction
The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 has introduced a new standalone moratorium procedure for companies.1 The moratorium is part of a package of significant legislative reforms contained in the Act, intended to enhance the UK’s restructuring rescue culture.

The process created by the BIA sets out the duties and obligations of the various stakeholders involved in the insolvency proceeding and it establishes numerous deadlines by which certain tasks are required to be accomplished.
