Frequently asked questions

Insolvency & Corporate Restructuring: key answers

When is opening insolvency proceedings mandatory in Romania?

Under Law 85/2014, the debtor must request the opening of insolvency within 30 days of the appearance of the state of insolvency (manifest inability to pay due, certain and liquid debts). Failure to comply triggers personal liability of the director for the company's liabilities. The minimum claim threshold for a creditor to file is 50,000 RON.

What is the difference between reorganization and bankruptcy under Romanian law?

Judicial reorganization allows the debtor to continue operating through implementation of a plan approved by creditors and the supervising judge, with debt rescheduling or reduction over a maximum of 3 years (exceptionally 4). Bankruptcy is the liquidation of assets for distribution to creditors, followed by removal of the company from the trade register. Successful reorganization is preferable for all stakeholders but requires a viable business and creditor consensus.

What rights do creditors have in Romanian insolvency proceedings?

Creditors must register their claim in the preliminary table within the set deadline (typically 45 days from opening). Secured claims (mortgages, pledges) take priority. The creditor can attend creditor meetings, vote on the reorganization plan, challenge the judicial administrator's measures and request liability of management for unpaid liabilities. Claim registration deadlines are forfeiture deadlines. Missing them means losing the right.

Can company directors face personal liability for the debts of an insolvent Romanian company?

Yes, under specific conditions. Article 169 of Law 85/2014 provides for personal liability of management when they caused the state of insolvency through: using the company's assets or credit for personal gain, keeping fictitious accounting, diverting or hiding assets, preferential payments to certain creditors, or continuing activity for personal benefit after the manifest appearance of insolvency. Liability can be joint and several with other directors.
