Insolvency lawyer in Romania. Opening of insolvency proceedings in Romania

A judicial request for the replacement of a judicial administrator/judicial liquidator is a specific legal action within the insolvency proceedings in Romania. The legal basis for filing such a request is law 85/2014 on insolvency in Romania, just as it is for all actions related to an insolvency petition in Romania, the opening of insolvency proceedings in Romania, or other aspects concerning the insolvency proceedings in Romania of a debtor in Romania. The Romanian Law Firm Pavel, Mărgărit and Associates recommends working with an insolvency lawyer in Romania or a litigation lawyer in Romania to assist you in drafting the request for the judicial replacement of a judicial administrator/judicial liquidator in Romania, ensuring compliance with the requirements imposed by law 85/2014 on insolvency in Romania and submitting it to the syndic judge, along with all supporting documents necessary to prove the validity of the request.

The request for the replacement of a judicial administrator/judicial liquidator can be formulated and submitted to the syndic judge as a result of two situations: either the existence of a decision by the creditors’ assembly, with a vote of more than 50% of the total value of the voting rights claims, or ex officio by the syndic judge. In the first case, it may also involve a single creditor in Romania, but one that holds more than 50% of the value of the claims. It is important to note that both situations in which the replacement of a judicial administrator or judicial liquidator in Romania is requested must be based on justified reasons, such as the failure to fulfill legal duties within the time limits provided by law 85/2014 on insolvency in Romania, non-compliance with the legal provisions regarding the opening of insolvency proceedings in Romania, or other actions related to the insolvency proceedings in Romania that are necessary for the recovery of a creditor’s claims from a debtor in Romania.

The Romanian Law Firm Pavel, Mărgărit and Associates emphasizes the importance of consulting an insolvency lawyer in Romania or a litigation lawyer in Romania to identify the necessary evidence to demonstrate that the request is justified, drafting it in accordance with law 85/2014 on insolvency in Romania, and submitting it to the syndic judge for resolution. The replacement of a judicial administrator/judicial liquidator in Romania is judged in chambers, urgently, with the summoning of the judicial administrator and the creditors’ committee. An appeal can be filed against the ruling within 5 days from the date of communication. Additionally, it is important to mention that the procedure for replacing the judicial administrator or judicial liquidator in Romania can occur at any time after the opening of insolvency proceedings in Romania, specifically during the insolvency proceedings in Romania.
