Steps for a creditor

  1. Do not attach assets or start enforcement for debts from before the opening while the moratorium runs.
  2. A court officer sells the business or part of it. Creditors are paid from the proceeds, according to their ranking.
  3. What you deliver after the opening is not covered by the moratorium. Agree clear payment terms for it.
  4. The file is in RegSol, where you can read the documents of the procedure.

The judgment sets how long the moratorium runs. That date is in RegSol and in the publication in the Official Gazette.

Your claim still exists, but while the moratorium runs you cannot enforce it. What you do now depends on the track of the reorganisation.

Follow Follow this reorganisation and you are notified of an extension, the court's approval, the closure or a bankruptcy.

This is general information, not legal advice. If in doubt, your lawyer or your accountant can help.

Signals

Restart pattern 1 indication

A company was founded shortly before or after the bankruptcy of another, with a director in both or at the same registered office.

  • BankruptThis companyjudgment 23-08-2023
    FoundedGRAINS NOIRS NGstart date 28-08-2023

    GRAINS NOIRS NG was founded 5 days after the bankruptcy of this company. The annual accounts of both list COFREMA as director, and both had the same registered office.

    • COFREMA listed as director in the annual accounts of both
    • Same registered office (1080 Sint-Jans-Molenbeek)
    • Same main activity: Event catering NACE 56210
    • Similar name

This is a pattern, not a judgment. A new start after a bankruptcy is often entirely legitimate. The facts come from the KBO register, the Belgian Official Gazette, the director data and the annual accounts at the NBB. The same name in two sets of accounts is not necessarily the same person. What the facts mean is for you to look into.
