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.

Temporary lease of business space: what is possible?
In real estate, there are two types of leases for business premises: lease of medium-sized business premises (think of a store or catering establishment) or the lease for other business premises (such as office space). This article explains the options for entering into a short-term lease for the different types of commercial space.
How does a purchase/contracting agreement work in real estate?
What is a purchase/contractor agreement? When parties agree that one of them will provide a piece of land and construct or finish a building on it for a fee, there is a contract for the purchase of the land on the one hand and a contract for work on the other hand with regard to the building. The part relating to the purchase of the land is governed by the legal rules of sale. On the part that relates to contracting work (building and delivery), the rules of contracting work apply. Therefore, it does not make much difference in practice whether one speaks of two linked contracts (purchase and contracting) or of one compound contract to which the rules for purchase and the rules for contracting apply in part.
What are the rights, obligations and liabilities of contractors and principals in contracting work?
A construction assignment to a contractor is considered a contract for work. This is an agreement whereby the contractor, on the instructions of the client - outside of employment - realizes and delivers a work of material nature. The legal relationship between the client and the contractor is - unless otherwise agreed - governed by the statutory rules for contracting work.
