Workgroup

Draft Bill for the Reform of the Consolidated Text of the Bankruptcy Law

Why?

The repeated legislative reforms that have been the subject of the bankruptcy procedure in recent years culminate, in the end, with the challenge faced by the legislator of adapting the Spanish legal regime to the guidelines established by the Directive (EU) 2019/1023 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of June 20, 2019, on preventive restructuring frameworks, debt relief and disqualifications, and on measures to increase the efficiency of restructuring, insolvency and exoneration procedures of debts.

A first approach to the text of the Draft Law to reform the consolidated text of the Bankruptcy Law, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2020, of May 5 (hereinafter, ALRTRLC), reveals the complexity of the task that corresponds to the legislator, not only because of the number of precepts subject to modification, but, very particularly, because of the paradigm shift that the Draft Bill introduces in the Spanish bankruptcy system.

The present Workgroup aims to achieve the following objectives:

 

  1. Highlight the newest aspects introduced by the ALRTRLC in each of the bankruptcy processing areas.
  2. Detect main dysfunctions in which the ALRTRLC could incur, proposing alternative solutions according to the system of the legal text.
  3. Assess whether the ALRTRLC complies properly with the principles contained in the Directive (EU) 2019/1023 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of June 20, 2019
  4. Form improvement proposals of the ALRTRLC in those aspects in which regulation could be insufficient.

 

The effective performance of such work requires, on the one hand, that it be nourished by contributions from the different professionals involved in the bankruptcy procedure; and, that it is based on an exhaustive analysis structured by thematic blocks, in which the additional intervention of a professional specialized in the matter may occasionally be accommodated.
