Judicial reorganisation Source: Belgian 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.

The procedure

Court

Opened
25 April 2023
Track
Reorganisation by collective agreement
Docket number
20230019
Moratorium until

What to do now

  1. Do not attach assets or start enforcement for debts from before the opening while the moratorium runs.
  2. Check the amount the company lists you for: it has to tell you. If it is wrong, dispute it in writing.
  3. The company files a reorganisation plan and creditors vote on it at a hearing. A plan approved and confirmed by the court also binds those who voted against.
  4. What you deliver after the opening is not covered by the moratorium: agree clear payment terms.
  5. The file is in RegSol, where you can read the documents of the procedure.

Deadlines: the judgment sets how long the moratorium runs. That date is in RegSol and in the publication in the Official Gazette. The date of the vote on the plan is in the judgment and in RegSol.
