KEY FACTS OF BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY & REHABILITATION PROCEEDINGS UNDER DUTCH LAW -

I. Insolvency proceedings in The Netherlands -

There are four law-regulated insolvency proceedings in The Netherlands: bankruptcy (faillissement), suspensions of payment (surseance van betaling), debt adjustment for natural persons (schuldsanering natuurlijke personen) and the confirmation of private plans (homologatie onderhands akkoord (WHOA)). Since the scope of this paper focusses on corporate entities, the debt adjustment for natural persons will not be discussed here.
