Corporate Rehabilitation Insights
Summary
The Financial Rehabilitation and Insolvency Act (FRIA) in the Philippines covers corporate rehabilitation, excluding general professional partnerships and government agencies. Rehabilitation plans aim to restore financial viability through various means. In voluntary insolvency, all partners or a majority of the board and stockholders must approve. Creditors with significant claims can initiate involuntary proceedings. Suspension of payments applies when debtors foresee payment difficulties despite sufficient assets. Liquidation orders halt foreclosure proceedings and may terminate contracts unless the liquidator intervenes. Understanding these processes is crucial for navigating corporate insolvency.Full Conversation
