    Wijziging Insolventieverordening: de WHOA nu ook erkend in lidstaten EU
    2022-01-11

    De Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord (WHOA) is inmiddels een jaar geleden (1 januari 2021) in werking getreden.[1] Met die inwerkingtreding werd het Nederlandse faillissementsrecht een herstructureringsmechanisme rijker. Een rechtspersoon in financieel zwaar weer kan daarmee - kort gezegd - zijn schulden herstructureren door het opstellen en aanbieden van een akkoord waaraan ook tegenstemmende schuldeisers kunnen worden gebonden middels een dwangakkoord buiten faillissement of surseance van betaling.

    Draft bill on Expedited Liquidation Transparency presented
    2021-08-02

    On 28 June 2021, the Minister of Justice presented a draft temporary bill on transparency of expedited liquidations (de tijdelijke wet transparantie turboliquidatie). As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minister expects that there will be an increase in the number of businesses that will need to be liquidated. Under Dutch law, the most efficient way to do this is through expedited liquidation (turboliquidatie). However, as the expedited liquidation barely provides for safeguards to creditors, it is often considered a mechanism that is open for abuse.

Ook bevat het voorstel de mogelijkheid om, indien een bestuurder de nieuwe regels niet naleeft, een bestuursverbod op te leggen.

    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.
