2022. július 1. napján lép hatályba az új szerkezetátalakítási törvény, amely megoldást nyújthat a fizetésképtelenség határára sodródott vállalkozások pénzügyi nehézségeinek korai kezelésére, talpra állításuk ösztönzésére, valamint fizetőképességük helyreállítására. Az új, fizetésképtelenséget megelőző szerkezetátalakítási eljárás leginkább a csődeljárás alternatívája lehet; ebben az esetben azonban az adós alapvetően maga döntheti el, hogy mely hitelezőivel tárgyal és kiket von be a folyamatba.
Section 284 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the “IA86”) deals with the restrictions on a bankrupt in dealing with their property in the period between the making (practically speaking, the presentation) of a bankruptcy application and the vesting of the estate in the trustee. This period is defined as the “Relevant Period”. If a bankruptcy order is made, any disposition of property in the Relevant Period is automatically void. Any person in receipt of disposed property is treated as holding it on trust for the benefit of the bankrupt’s estate.
In the ordinary course of commercial life, “bankruptcy” may be inevitable for financially distressed companies. In such case, the question arises with respect to the status of receivables from the bankrupt entity and how they will be collected.
