    Besturen met verantwoordelijkheden binnen verenigingen
    2025-08-05

    Voor veel mensen betekent een bestuursfunctie binnen een vereniging een betrokken, maatschappelijk engagement. Maar wie bestuursverantwoordelijkheid op zich neemt, draagt ook juridische risico’s. Zeker wanneer de vereniging in financiële problemen raakt. Wat veel bestuurders niet beseffen, is dat zij onder omstandigheden persoonlijk kunnen worden aangesproken voor financiële tekorten na een faillissement.

    Governance with responsibilities within associations
    2025-08-05

    For many people, a board position within an association means a committed, civic engagement. But those who assume board responsibility also bear legal risks. Especially when the association gets into financial trouble. What many directors do not realize is that, under circumstances, they can be personally liable for financial shortfalls after a bankruptcy.

    This article offers insight into when and why directors of associations can be held liable, what legal frameworks underlie this, and how to reduce the risk of personal claims.

    2025-07-25

    After a bankruptcy is declared, the director does not disappear from the picture. Although the trustee takes over the liquidation, the former director may be personally liable for the deficit in the estate or for damages suffered by individual creditors. This article clearly explains when liability is imminent and what measures you can take in advance.

    Wat blijft uw risico als bestuurder bij bestuurdersaansprakelijkheid na faillissement?
    2025-07-25

    Na het uitspreken van een faillissement verdwijnt de bestuurder niet uit beeld. Hoewel de curator de afwikkeling overneemt, kan de voormalige bestuurder persoonlijk opdraaien voor het tekort in de boedel of voor schade van individuele schuldeisers. Dit artikel zet helder uiteen wanneer aansprakelijkheid dreigt en welke maatregelen u vooraf kunt nemen.

    Can directors’ liability still cause a turboliquidated company to declare bankruptcy?
    2025-01-14

    Introduction

    Dissolution of a company can take place in several ways in the Netherlands. One of these options is turboliquidation, a procedure described in Article 2:19 paragraph 4 of the Dutch Civil Code (BW). The essence of this is that at the time of the dissolution decision, there must no longer be any assets present in the company.

    Dutch Supreme Court provides clarity on aspects of the WHOA in Royal IHC judgment
    2024-11-01

    On 25 October 2024, the Dutch Supreme Court ruled in a ground-breaking judgment in Royal IHC that a WHOA plan may change creditors’ and shareholders’ rights but cannot impose more onerous obligations. More specifically, the lenders cannot be compelled to provide new financing or to accept new terms and still provide new funds under previously committed credit facilities (i.e., undrawn commitments).

    De kracht van het retentierecht
    2024-08-26

    Bij onroerende goederen, kan de situatie ontstaan dat tijdens de bouw een hypotheekrecht wordt gevestigd ten behoeve van de bank. Als de opdrachtgever failliet gaat, en de aannemer oefent het retentierecht uit, wie mag dan het onroerend goed verkopen? De Hoge Raad heeft hier onlangs uitgebreid antwoord op gegeven.
