The Spanish business endangered
By Juan Pablo on SMEs
Today has published on INE data concerning competitions for creditors in the las
t quarter of 2008 and full year, and data can not be more clear and conclusive.
The Spanish business is experiencing one of its biggest setbacks in history with
more than 2,500 companies bankrupt (exactly 2528), which is almost triple the f
igure a year ago, when only 880 companies were presented the insolvency proceedi
ngs. And if we focus on individuals with business figures are worse, because in
2008 four times the 2007 level and six times those of 2006. If we look at sector
s hardest hit have been the construction, industry, real estate and business ser
vices, with almost 70% of the total. Being just over 60% for small companies wit
h a turnover of less than two million euros. If everything that can go wrong is

Spanish legislation. The document is written very succinctly and simply. Some of
the issues involved are the following: Should I continue paying the interest ge

he extent of the security right. Once declared the contest interesestanto suspen
d the accrual of legal and conventional. What treatment have yet to be fulfilled
contracts? The declaration of bankruptcy, not by itself affect the validity of
contracts.€If a party has fulfilled all its obligations and the other is to be d

the interest of the competition will be resolved. What is the impact on employe

The Government amends the responsibility of managers to the housing crisis

By Fernando González González (co-founder of Lawyers jure.) Commercial law provi
des that before a company descapitalice-before net worth is less than 50% of soc
ial capital, adopted a series of agreements aimed at avoiding that creditors can
not collect its receivables. These agreements are basically two: capital or lar
ge quantities providing new partners or, failing that, will dissolve and liquida
te the company. The rationale for this measure is based on the protection of cor
porate assets from creditors. The failure of administrators to not take any of t
hese measures entailed the responsibility for them. Well, things were going well
until last Saturday, December 13, by way of urgency, the Government adopted a d
ecree-law which, among other measures has been to modify the statutory scheme. T
he reason for this change is that many companies (the clearest example is Habita
t) have seen the deterioration in value its real estate assets has made Equity i
s less than 50% of the capital. Facing this situation, these companies have no o
ther solution (a view that partners were unwilling to contribute more capital) t
o be dissolved. The government wanted to avoid a flood of companies in liquidati
on for what he has articulated a reform means that, for two years does not count
, for the sole purpose of whether or not to dissolve and liquidate a company, th
e deterioration in the value of plant and equipment, Real Estate Investment and
Stocks (recall that for a real estate stocks are both the soil and work in progr
ess or completed housing). Now, as for accounting purposes such damage if they a
re calculated, the conclusion from now on will be that we will find despatrimoni
alizadas accounting firms continue to operate in the market as the cause of sett
lement is gone. Who will be the losers of this legislative amendment of urgency?
No doubt creditors in such situations it may not be aimed against the social ma
nagers (as now happened). However, the legal action taken today does not repeal
the existing system, only its effect suspended for a period of two financial yea
rs. This means that if for example the deterioration of property values will be
maintained for 2 years and therefore the change in cycle has not reached prior t
o that date, companies, then yes, must agree on the settlement now suspended. Ta

Creditors competitions are at maximum levels
By Juan Pablo on suspension of payments in the third quarter of 2008 there have
been almost the same creditor contests in all of 2007. With this chilling statem
ent is clear the plight they are going through our companies. In the third quart
er of this year there have been 764 competitive procedures and in the first thre
e quarters of last year there were 680. Throughout 2007 there were 976 competiti
ons, and so far this year (in the first three quarters) and carry the 1820. That
is, at this rate,€will end 2008 with 2,500 companies that have filed bankruptcy
.
And this figure must be added to data published yesterday by the National Statis
tics Institute (INE) on dissolved companies, which were in October 1251. And the
re is revealing in that people are basically fixed, and which constitute 41.5% f
ewer companies today than earlier this year. That is, firms not only destroyed,
but will not be created. And if businesses are destroyed and not created, where
will you find work the millions of unemployed? Tags: Bankruptcy, Economic Crisis

Measures for SMEs drowning
By Juan Pablo on Unpaid we are all excited about the decision taken by the Supre
me Court next week on a couple of aspects of the Insolvency Act which submitted
the Tax and Social Security, which will prosper once again a clear and serious p
rejudice against small businesses that want to collect the receivables obligors
of those making an arrangement with creditors, who may be relegated to the last
position in case of liquidation of the creditor company. As stipulated in the Ac
t as it stands, only 50% of claims against the bankrupt having to the Tax and So
cial Security (not secured by mortgage or voluntary or statutory, or movable pro
perty or a pledge without movement on the property mortgaged or pledged, nor are
amounts for tax withholding and Social Security owed by the bankrupt pursuant t
o a legal obligation) are generally considered privileged credits, ie credits wh
ich are charged second after the credits with special privilege. However, both t
he tax and social security have gone to the Supreme Court to ask that 50% is cal
culated on all outstanding credits without distinguishing their type or classifi
cation, that is, they want to charge more and earlier. The First Chamber of the
Supreme Court decide next week whether the 50% should be calculated as it is wor
ded in the Act or whether it should be calculated on all credits that have the T
ax and Social Security. And if that was not enough, the tax and social security
claims are also calling for urgency surcharge tax debt or unpaid social security
contributions move from being classified as subordinate (practically the last t
o collect) a the same category as the tax or fee which must be unmet. If the Sup
reme Court rules in favor of the Tax and Social Security (hopefully not) will ta
ke precedence to bill and charge a higher amount than now, that is, small (and e
ven medium) creditors will be less likely to charge outstanding debts. Furthermo
re, the decision would set case, which all courts of Spain would have to follow
the doctrine pronounced by the Supreme Court. As I said, they want to charge mor
e and earlier, so that the other creditors who really do need to collect these o
utstanding debts (in many cases) will dwindle to survive their ability to collec
t. Is this is what he calls the government "support measures for small and mediu
m-sized businesses? Next week I will tell you to see what happened. Tags: Bankru

Axesor Report: The housing crisis spreading to other sections
By Quique on Suspension of Payments 56% of Spanish companies declared acreedores
en contest 2008 are a direct result of the crisis in the construction sector. Th
is is one of the main conclusions of the report by Axesor on the evolution of pr
ocesses in Spain during the last three years. But the strongest housing crisis b
egan to damage other sectors of the economy.
In his report,€Axesor differentiates the three main types of activity related to
the construction sector (NACE 45): 1. Infrastructure construction, including ci
vil engineering works and public facilities. The percentage of bankrupt companie
s in this segment for the global construction sector is 24%. Activities such as
construction of roads, highways, airfields and sports facilities, water works, m
ajor earthworks or construction of networks double the number of contests agains
t 2007. Although not depend so much on the economy as other sectors, their expos
ure to late payment by the government (especially local government) has helped t
o aggravate the delicate financial situation of many companies, which, finally,
has led to the bankruptcy. 2. The building, the residential (households) or non-
residential (offices, factories, etc..) Adds the percentage of the highest bankr
uptcy, with 73% of the total. Companies related to building construction, electr
ical, plumbing, Plastering, carpentry, metal work, painting or installation of a
ir conditioning are experiencing an increased number of bankruptcies between 200
6 and 2008. In 2008, the number of competitive companies has nearly tripled. 3.
The rehabilitation and maintenance, with a rate of 3% is the segment least affec
ted by the crisis in the construction sector. Working on request, such activitie
s are not affected by the current imbalance between supply and demand. Therefore
, creditors contests for 2008 show a figure lower than for 2007. During the prev
ious housing crisis experienced in Spain), this segment became a refuge for

ties in this sector. The reason for the low or almost no detriment is because ma

the alternative of reforming its present home.

Beside the direct effect on the real estate sector, which is who sells the house
s to households and businesses, the demand on construction resources also involv
es many other sectors. Previous work materials extraction, adaptation and prepar
ation of materials, manufacture of metal structures or furniture are some exampl
es of the flow of activity generated by mining and industrial construction. Many
distributors also generate wealth and employment mediating the exchange of good
s related to construction (roofing, tiles, furniture, housewares, hardware, secu
rity alarms, paint, varnish) so that when demand slows Housing demand also affec
ted the construction sector to those others that are used. Therefore, the drag e
ffect of the construction sector is significant and, unlike previous years, the
group dependent on the construction activities highlighted on all other sectors
of the economy by the number of bankruptcy filed in 2007 and especially in 2008.

Bankruptcy: Liability of Directors

The Social Responsibility of Administrators in companies in bankruptcy is very i
mportant in certain cases. Neira Carlos Pavon, de jure lawyers, makes it clear w
hat these cases and the extent of the liability: With the entry into force of th
e Insolvency Act (22/2003 of 9 July), there appeared a new accountability system

arises when the

bankruptcy of a corporation qualifies guilty, that is,€when the insolvency of th
e company has been fraud or gross negligence of legal representatives of the Com
pany in the competition. If the insolvency of an operating business is due to ac
cidental causes of the market, managers will not suffer negative consequences if
he has acted diligently, seeking the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings withi
n legally stipulated. On the contrary, the competition is guilty that the manage
ment of corporate insolvency has been made pursuant to law, which requires sanct
ions on the directors of the company in competition. The Bankruptcy Act sets out
the specific assumptions that in any case, deserve the blame for the qualifying
competition, and that, unless proven otherwise, deserve the same fate. Some of
the cases involve themselves guilty of grade contest are: 1. 2. 3. 4. Material b
reach in the keeping of accounting. Any wrongdoing relevant to understanding the
financial situation or the debtor. Been lifted for all or part of their propert
y to the detriment of its creditors. Where before the date of the declaration of
bankruptcy the debtor has made any legal act aimed to simulate a fictitious ass
ets.
These assumptions and the like, contained in art. 164 of the LC, will determine
the guilt of the contest qualification without attending any other evidence. How
ever, there are other legal presumptions that determine the rating guilty of the
competition, unless there is proof to the contrary it destroys the presumption,
which are: 1. Those who have violated the duty to request in the statement of t
he contest period. 2. Those who have breached the duty to cooperate with the jud
ge of the competition and bankruptcy administration, they had not been provided
the information necessary or desirable in the interest of the contest or had not
attended, in person or by proxy at the meeting of creditors. 3. If the debtor i
s legally obligated to the keeping of accounts, would not have made the annual a
ccounts were not audited and should do so, or, if approved, there were not depos
ited in the commercial register in one of the last three previous to be declared
bankrupt. If the competition is characterized guilty and contest the company we
lcomes the liquidation, bankruptcy may shift the responsibility for the social d
ebt administrators or liquidators, and who have had this condition within two ye
ars preceding the date of declaration of bankruptcy, forcing them to pay credito
rs in bankruptcy, in whole or in part, the amount of their claims are not paid i
n the liquidation of the company. Consequently, if a company hosts a meeting of
creditors, either voluntarily or at the request of creditors, and that competiti
on is characterized guilty, who has acted as an administrator or liquidator (not
yet recorded as such in the Register) may respond personally, with all its pres
ent and future assets, the debts of the bankrupt, for the amount not paid credit
ors in liquidation. However, the imposition of such liability may be varied in r
esponse to the specific facts to substantiate the rating guilty of the competiti
on, it is not the same as the tender procedure has been applied out of time, lea
ding to double accounting firm, or directly not accounted for certain transactio
ns. This responsibility bankruptcy are tied to the disqualification of those adm
inistrators or liquidators to manage foreign assets for a period of two to fifte
en years, depending on the seriousness of the facts, to be entered in the commer
cial register, for the purpose of giving publicity timely to a significant event
in our system of corporate management. Carlos Pavon Neira, an expert in commerc
ial law and bankruptcy.

Only a handful of companies in competition to the crisis sobevivirá
By Juan Pablo on Suspension of Payments
Today I would like to echo a report in the newspaper Expansion, by which 90% of
companies who come to the insolvency proceedings end up disappearing. And appare
ntly that number could reach 95%.€And is that the 36 existing commercial courts
currently have to deal with twice as many competitions as last year. For 2008 is
expected to exceed the 2,000 contests, and by 2009, according to what sources c
ould exceed 4000 contests. And is that these 36 are still being tried all the ot
her lawsuits that they compete, making it materially impossible to pay adequate
attention to all bankruptcy proceedings. And more so considering that the courts
are one-person business. Surely every one will be praying that no company of th
e big "- type Martinsa-Fadesa, go to Bankruptcy.

In the declaration of insolvency necessary, the creditor must indicate the origi
n, nature, amount, dates of purchase, expiration dates and current status of the
loan, which will have to submit a document proving that there really is that cr
edit be recovered. Obviously, you also have to present any evidence to support t
he application for bankruptcy, from invoices, receipts, bank statements, etc.. s
ince the word creditor alone is not sufficient proof. For the creditor can file
bankruptcy, it is imperative that implementation has been shipped or pressure ag
ainst the debtor without the free goods but enough to prove payment of the debt,
or should be one of the following facts:
1. 2. 3. 4.
The general cessation of the current payment obligations of the debtor. The exis
tence of liens for outstanding performances in general affect the debtor's asset
s. The lift or hurried or ruinous liquidation of assets by the debtor. The wides
pread disregard of obligations of any of the following classes: the payment of t
ax obligations due during the three months preceding the application for bankrup
tcy, the payment of social security contributions and other fundraising concepts
together for the same period ; the payment of salaries and allowances and other
benefits arising from working relations for the last three months.
A substantial difference between a voluntary and necessary, is that if the debto
r himself who asked the contest, you can keep the administration, management and
disposition of its assets (with the supervision of the receivers), while if the
creditor who presented the contest, the debtor will lose their management capac
ity, management and disposition of its assets, which will become power of the re
ceivers. In addition, it is also important to note that this creditor to submit
the contest will be a privilege for recovery against the other creditors. This p
rivilege is to be charged 25% of its outstanding credit prior to the final.

Bankruptcy (I): Who can submit?
By Juan Pablo on Suspension of Payments
Within the creditors' meeting is important to know who may seek the assistance,
when you can ask for and how to apply. This article will begin by whom, and try
later when and how. Is entitled to initiate insolvency proceedings the debtor or
any of its creditors. Naturally,€there are several exceptions or clarifications
to that statement. First, if the debtor is a legal person, shall have jurisdict
ion to decide on the application the board of liquidation of the company. Second
, the creditor is not entitled, within the 6 months preceding the filing of bank
ruptcy, had acquired the credit for acts inter vivos (ie, other than by inherita
nce or legacy following the death of the original creditor) singular title and,
after maturity. So yes it may make the contest the heirs of a deceased creditor.
Third, the competition may also have a business partners, members or members wh
o are responsible for the debts they have contracted the company. Fourth, a cred
itor may request a judicial finding joint assistance of several of its debtors a
ssets where there is confusion between them, or when companies are part of the s
ame group, with substantial identity and unity of its members in making decision
s. Finally, the contest may be submitted if the public prosecutor for a judicial
investigation for crimes against property and against the socio-economic order
are revealed evidence of insolvency of a criminal suspect and the existence of a
plurality of creditors. Therefore, if you have a company and to the neck, you c
an ask yourself the contest. And so may submit (though you do not want) to your
creditors. And so can you do with your debtors, if it's you I should cash.

Bankrupt companies soar
By Juan Antonio on Suspension of Payments
Now that we know well that a meeting of creditors (see Article Guide to Understa
nding the bankruptcy), I just wanted to put a bit in context of the current real
ity of these situations, because obviously, in times contests crisis creditors s
oar. If you look at the statistics of the INE, in the second quarter of this yea
r 542 companies have benefited from bankruptcy proceedings, representing a 51% i
ncrease over the previous quarter and an annual increase of 155%. 24.5% of busin
ess competition is principally engaged in manufacturing, construction 22.9% and
19.2% of real estate and business services. And as we know at this stage, SMEs d
o not receive as much support as large companies or banks make it easy, nor are
so well prepared (usually by lack of resources, not

most (or all) simply immersed in a situation of temporary difficulty and soon t
o revive their businesses. Courage to all!

A guide to understanding the Bankruptcy
By Administrator on Suspension of Payments The bad news featuring some companies
(Martins-Fadesa in particular) leads to technical and legal terms so far unknow
n, become familiar to the public. The following text is intended as a guide for
laymen: What is bankruptcy? It is the figure to the benefiting companies when th
ey are or are about to be insolvent, ie unable to pay their debts. The competiti
on allows them to freeze the payment of claims. An external team assesses whethe
r the financial bottleneck is temporary or not. Does the demise of the company?
No. In fact, bankruptcy is designed to allow for continuity through the orderly
sale of assets, for example. Who pays the workers? The company, as the competiti
on normally implies that continues to operate, but do not pay their debts. If fu
nds are not, the staff charged Wage Guarantee Fund up to that obtained by multip
lying twice the daily minimum wage, without overtime pay, the number of days out
standing, with a maximum of 120 days. What effect does for banks? The regulation
s of the Bank of Spain requires them to immediately provide supplies for at leas
t 25% of credit granted to a company that declares the contest. That money is de
ducted directly from benefits. For the moment, will charge fees according to the
credits expire, although they hope to collect much in the future as the develop
er sells assets. What is the advantage of a voluntary? Unlike the so-called comp
etition forced the volunteer (declared at the request of the owners), allows man
agers to continue holding the reins of the company, although its decisions can b
e vetoed by the judge or by the receivers.

Who appoints the receivers? What makes a judge and are usually three people (can
be a very exceptional cases): a lawyer with at least five years of practice, an
auditor, economist or commercial entitled (in all cases have to be registered)
also has five years of practice, and a creditor. What functions do these adminis
trators? They are responsible for identifying the assets of the company, keep it
as far as possible (that any asset sales, once fixed the agreement or the liqui
dation of the company, not harm their business) and check that there have been n
o operations fraud in previous years. What time limits manejanen these processes
? Once accepted by the judge's request of creditors,€the receivers have two mont
hs to assess the situation of the company, although the deadline may be extended
another month depending on the complexity of the process. This is what that is
expected to happen to Martinsa, so you may have to wait until the end of the yea
r to see if the company goes into liquidation or an agreement to refloat it fixe
d. In the first case, the deadline is a month in the second, a year. Is removed,
much is, on average? Typically, says Juan Ignacio Fernández Aguado, a partner a
t law firm Albiñana & Suárez de Lezo, is that you remove (the debt is not paid)
is less than 50% of the amount due. Who comes first if you are owed? The so-call
ed privileged creditors: the workers of the enterprise, government and debtors w
ith collateral, ie, pledges and mortgages. Logically, this group is most banks.
Recently receivables are everyone else: the banks that have no guarantee of paym
ent, providers, suppliers and buyers ... the houses. Do you return the money to
people who bought a house Martinsa? The buyer has equal rights before the declar
ation of the competition. If there is a failure of the company (which do not bui
ld the house, for example) is entitled to a refund of the signal. It means that
if Martinsa just wound up, buyers who have shown signs of recovering if the work
s had not yet been initiated. If the house is finished, will be provided. And if
you become half, it is possible to stay without it and without compensation unt
il a court dictates. Legal sources consider this possibility remote because it w
ould be normal Martinsa deliver the homes that already have compromised. Source
