Financial difficulties
Opposition and appeal in bankruptcy
When a bankruptcy is declared by the court, the bankrupt has the possibility to challenge that decision. If the bankrupt did not appear in the proceedings before the court he has the option to file an opposition with the same court. The court will then hear the case again. The time limit for lodging an objection is 14 days from the date of the judgment.
If the bankrupt has appeared in court and the bankruptcy is pronounced despite his defense, the bankrupt has the possibility to appeal to the Court of Appeal. The term for filing an appeal is 8 days, counting from the day of the judgment. Even if the bankruptcy is declared after filing an objection, the debtor can file an appeal within 8 days.
It is mandatory to hire a lawyer for both the opposition and the appeal against the bankruptcy judgment.
Of course, if a creditor has filed for bankruptcy, the creditor may also file an appeal if the debtor’s bankruptcy petition has been rejected.
Opposition and appealing a bankruptcy judgment
There are several ways to succeed in the opposition or appeal against a judgment of bankruptcy. It may be argued that the bankruptcy petitioner has no claim with which to file for bankruptcy. It may also be argued that the state of having ceased to pay required for a declaration of bankruptcy does not exist or no longer exists. In this context, it may be necessary to reach an arrangement with creditors. Resisting a bankruptcy order is a good way to still satisfy the claims.

But what if the sick employee does not cooperate? Which actions can you take as an employer to get the reintegration process back on track or can the employer fire the sick employee if he does not cooperate?
