    Dutch Minister proposes new temporary expedited liquidation rules
    2021-07-15

    On 28 June 2021 the Dutch government initiated a public consultation procedure concerning a legislative proposal intended to make expedited liquidation of legal entities more transparent for creditors. To achieve this goal, the Minister has proposed that the management board of a legal entity should file a number of documents with the Trade Register within 10 days of liquidation and then notify their creditors that they have done so. The proposal also allows for the possibility of disqualifying a managing director who should fail to observe the new rules.

    Belastingplan 2018: geen schorsende werking meer van verzet tegen dwangbevel
    2017-12-15

    De fiscale wetgever heeft in het kader van het Belastingplan 2018 voorgesteld om artikel 17 lid 2 Invorderingswet 1990 (hierna: “IW 1990”) te laten vervallen. Indien dit voorstel daadwerkelijk wordt ingevoerd, dan zou dit betekenen dat aan het verzet tegen de tenuitvoerlegging van een dwangbevel van de Ontvanger niet langer schorsende werking toekomt. Dit kan grote gevolgen hebben voor uw onderneming.

    Dutch Supreme Court allows debtor's appeal to enter debt restructuring in proceedings opposing a bankruptcy order
    2021-05-11

    Until recently, an appeal to enter debt restructuring in proceedings opposing a bankruptcy order was not allowed by the Dutch lower courts. In a ground-breaking ruling on 26 March 2021, the Dutch Supreme Court (ECLI:NL:HR:2021:460) put an end to this practice.

    Het nieuwe beslag- en executierecht
    2021-04-30

    In Nederland is het, vergeleken met omringende landen, vrij eenvoudig om beslag te leggen. De Wet herziening beslag- en executierecht (de ‘Wet’) beoogt het beslag- en executierecht voor schuldeisers eenvoudiger te maken door de mogelijkheden tot digitaal beslag leggen te verruimen. Ook wordt het beslag- en executierecht efficiënter met als gevolg dat schuldeisers minder kosten hoeven te maken om vorderingen te incasseren. Enig tegenwicht biedt de Wet, uitgebreider dan voorheen, door waarborging van het bestaansminimum van natuurlijke personen met schulden.

    Mass damages claims - how does the WMCA impact bankruptcy proceedings?
    2021-02-26

    Since Article 3: 305a of the Dutch Civil Code entered into force on 1 July 1994, a legal person (usually a foundation) can institute legal proceedings that serve to protect interests outlined in its articles of association (for example, recovering damage caused to the members of the foundation concerned). The mass claims foundation was born.
