Steps for a creditor
- The deadlines to file your claim have passed, including for a late claim. That was possible until a year after the judgment.
- Ask the trustee whether anything will still be paid out and whether your claim was admitted.
- Follow the file in RegSol. The trustee's reports appear there.
- Ask your accountant about the VAT on the unpaid invoices. In a bankruptcy it can be recovered, subject to conditions.
A late claim was possible until a year after the judgment (art. XX.165, Code of Economic Law). That deadline has passed too.
The judgment is more than a year old. A claim can no longer be filed, not even late. The trustee knows whether anything will still be paid out.
Follow
Follow this bankruptcy and you are notified the next morning if it is closed or reversed.
This is general information, not legal advice. If in doubt, the trustee, your lawyer or your accountant can help.

Turnover is what the company sold, the result is what was left of it. A loss stands below the zero line.
Assets, equity and debt per financial year.
Above zero, the company can pay its short-term debts with what it holds in the short term.
The EBIT margin is the share of each euro of turnover left from operations. The return on assets is what the assets earn.
The higher the solvency, the better the company absorbs a setback.
A ratio above 1 means the short-term assets cover the short-term debts.
Average staff per financial year, in full-time equivalents (FTE).
Use the arrow keys on the chart for the figures per year.
The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Retail trade (NACE 47). A quarter of them sit below it, a quarter above. Each year counts only accounts in the same format, and only where there are at least 30. The dashed line is the median. There is a sector band for net result, equity, total assets, working capital, solvency, current ratio, return on assets (ROA) and staff (FTE).

Green means a favourable move, even when the figure itself falls, as with debt or debt to equity.
