Content
The first part of the course is devoted to examining the various insolvency procedures: bankruptcy, transfer, judicial reorganization , collective debt settlement, deficit liquidation. For each of these procedures, the conditions for opening, the method of operation and the rights of creditors are examined.
The second part deals with the law of securities rights. Firstly, the principle of the uniform subjection of the debtor's assets and the principle of the equality of creditors will be studied. The course continues with a systematic study of the main security interests. After analysing the common features of these securities, the various types of pledge and preferential rights on movable goods and real estate are examined. The main conflicts between holders of security interests are also examined. Finally, we study personal security interest. In this respect, suretyship contract occupy a special place, being the only personal surety regulated as such by law. There is also a place for joint and several liability and for personal sureties that have arisen in practice, in particular first-demand guarantees. The course presupposes knowledge of the law of obligations, contracts and property (real rights).
