    Ranking of bankruptcy trustee’s expenses not prejudiced by unlawful act
    2016-06-01

    On 5 February 2016 the Dutch Supreme Court ruled that the fact that a trustee in bankruptcy unlawfully collected pledged receivables has no consequences for the ranking of his salary. That the trustee in this case would profit from his unlawful behaviour (his salary is the highest ranking claim in a bankruptcy) is undesirable, but not enough reason to change the ranking.

    Vissen schuldeisers van noodlijdend TSN Thuiszorg achter het net?
    2015-12-24

    TSN Thuiszorg B.V. ('TSN') verkeert al enige tijd in financiële problemen. Dit voorjaar haalde zij al meerdere keren het nieuws doordat zij haar werknemers een fikse loonkorting oplegde – ten onrechte, zo bleek onlangs (zie Rechtbank Overijssel 13 november 2015, ECLI:NL:RBOVE:2015:5042). Eind november heeft TSN noodgedwongen surseance van betaling moeten aanvragen en kreeg dat ook. De afgelopen dagen kwam TSN opnieuw in opspraak.

    Curator kan zich verzetten tegen faillietverklaring
    2016-01-04

    Het is tegenwoordig schering en inslag: zogenaamde 'lege boedels'. Het gaat dan om rechtspersonen die failliet verklaard worden terwijl deze niet over enige baten beschikken. 

    Een aangestelde curator, wiens salaris op de eerste plaats voldaan wordt uit die baten, heeft in dat geval het nakijken. Hij zal zijn wettelijke werkzaamheden toch moeten verrichten, in de wetenschap dat hij daarvoor niet zal worden betaald.

    Unlawful actions of bankruptcy trustee no influence on statutory ranking among creditors
    2016-02-15

    The Supreme Court recently issued an interesting ruling in an insolvency case where receivables that had been validly pledged to a bank were unlawfully collected by a bankruptcy trustee. The question was whether the damages claim of the bank against the bankrupt estate would take priority over the foreclosure and settlement costs, including the bankruptcy trustee’s salary.

    Court of Appeal Arnhem-Leeuwarden: a shareholder loan does not in itself have a subordinated character
    2015-10-08

    Court of Appeal Arnhem-Leeuwarden: a shareholder loan does not in itself have a subordinated character. If subordination has not been specifically agreed, other creditors may file a claim on the basis of tort law or on the principles of reasonableness and fairness in order to achieve a similar result, in other words as if the shareholder loan had been subordinated.
