Cette thèse est une contribution à la littérature sur les défaillances d’entreprises et celle sur les groupes d’entreprises. Basée sur un échantillon d’entreprises françaises entrées en procédure collective sur la période entre 2006 et 2012, elle propose de repenser la défaillance à la lumière de deux faits. Le premier concerne la spécificité du cadre légal français du traitement de la défaillance qui, malgré son orientation pro-débiteur, n’empêche pas la liquidation d’une part suffisamment élevée des entreprises sollicitant l’ouverture d’une procédure collective annuellement. Le second concerne la place croissante des groupes au sein du tissu productif et la conciliation du processus de filialisation avec le principe d’indépendance de l’entité. A travers une approche pluridisciplinaire alliant le droit à l’économie, cette thèse propose d’étudier la défaillance comme un processus qui débute avec l’entrée de l’entreprise en procédure collective et s’achève avec la disparition des difficultés de l’entreprise ou la sortie de l’entreprise du marché. Quatre chapitres tentent de répondre à cet objectif. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence l’impact significatif de l’appartenance à un groupe et celui des caractéristiques des groupes sur les deux premières étapes du processus de défaillance ; à savoir l’entrée en procédure collective et la tentative de redressement relativement à une liquidation immédiate. Ces résultats suggèrent que les groupes d’entreprises seraient impliqués dans la survie de leurs filiales aussi longtemps que ces dernières sont encore viables. En ce sens qu’une entreprise défaillante appartenant à un groupe ne possède pas d’avantage par rapport à une entreprise indépendante, en termes de potentiel de survie après l’entrée en procédure collective. / This thesis is a contribution to both the literature on corporate bankruptcy and the literature on the internal capital markets and business groups. Using data relative to a sample of bankrupt firms over the period from 2006 to 2012, it proposes to rethink bankruptcy in light of two facts. The first one relates to the specificity of the French legal bankruptcy system which, despite its clear pro-debtor orientation, fails to save a high proportion of bankrupt firms annually. The second concerns the growing number of firms affiliated to business groups within the French productive system and the conciliation between group affiliation and the limited liability principle within business groups’ members. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining law and economics, this thesis proposes to analyze bankruptcy as a process which starts with the opening of a bankruptcy procedure and ends with the end of firm difficulties or the end of bankruptcy procedure when firm recovery becomes clearly impossible. Four chapters serve this objective.The main insights gained from the results emerging from all four chapters are consistent with a strong influence of group affiliation and group characteristics, limited to the first two steps of the bankruptcy process; namely the risk of filing for bankruptcy and the chance to benefit from a reorganization attempt relatively to liquidation. This suggests that business groups are involved in the financial support of their affiliates as long as the latter are financially sound and economically viable. Once an affiliated firm is subject to a bankruptcy procedure, its affiliation to a business groups is no longer an advantage over stand-alone firms.

Various methods of unliquidated bankruptcy resolution in selected countries are briefly covered in the next section of the paper. Conclusion of the thesis highlights the most relevant information about reorganization and points out problematic situations, which may occur in connection with it.

The main aims of this thesis are to assess the efficiency of the current bankruptcy system in Oman and to offer specific proposals for bankruptcy reform to be adopted by the Omani legislator. Where appropriate, in proposing solutions for various issues lessons will be taken from the experience of both England and the US. This thesis consists of six chapters. The first chapter is a general introduction to the thesis which outlines the structure and scope of the study. Chapter Two critically explores the main theories underpinning bankruptcy law across the world. The aim of this exploration is to provide a general understanding of the policies underpinning bankruptcy laws and to establish the view of this thesis. Chapter Three discusses the experience of England and the US by identifying the main differences and similarities between bankruptcy proceedings in these jurisdictions; such discussion is necessary as a basis for determining the possibility of taking lessons from these developed bankruptcy regimes. Chapter Four provides a critical analysis of the current bankruptcy regime in Oman and outlines the key features of this regime. This chapter also discusses in detail the main issues with the current bankruptcy regime. This discussion includes: (1) the definition of bankruptcy; (2) the qualification of persons administering bankruptcy processes (3) ranking of creditors; (4) position of employees; (5) available alternatives under the current regime; and (6) the effect of declaration of bankruptcy on existing contracts. Chapter Five outlines the possibility of legal transplants and why it is desirable for Oman to adopt some of the bankruptcy principles that are found in England and the US. However, to avoid the risk of rejection of such transplants, this thesis will highlight the necessity of assessing the functionality and workability of western bankruptcy principles before transplanting them. This chapter also offers a proposal for future bankruptcy reform in Oman. Such reforms include having a clear statutory mandate, making bankruptcy law certain and predictable, and establishing a bankruptcy regime that encourage the rehabilitation of viable enterprises instead of liquidating them. Chapter Six is the overall conclusion of this thesis which explains the main ideas discussed and highlights the main contributions made by this study.

The main goal of this thesis is to offer a detailed perspective on the discharge from debts in the context of insolvency proceedings and also to illuminate the most important novelties, which were brought with the newest amendment of the insolvency law. The debt relief was alongside with the reorganization incorporated to the Czech legal system by the Insolvency act, No. 182/2006 Coll., which entered into force on the 1st of January 2008. This led to a significant shift from the liquidation form of resolving bankruptcy to the preference of the remedial methods. The main purpose of the debt relief is to provide a person in bankruptcy with an opportunity to free themselves from their debts and at the same time to ensure the highest possible and proportional satisfaction of the creditors. This institute was originally designed exclusively for the persons, who were not engaged in business, mainly for consumers. Nowadays this statement is not entirely factual. The legislator newly explicitly permitted, what had already been allowed by the judicial practice and thus a possibility to take advantage of this institute even for the entrepreneurs. Obviously, only under the conditions laid down by the valid legislation. The court shall allow resolving insolvency of the debtor in the form of discharge from...

Discharge as one of debt-eliminating modes of solving bankruptcy Abstract The aim of this thesis is to define the new law institute as regards insolvency law that is defined in the Act No. 182/2006 Coll., on Bankruptcy and its solution (Insolvency Law). The act came into force on 1.st January 2008. The purpose of this thesis is also to describe the practice of courts when applying afore mentioned law and specify some difficulties concerning new legislation. Discharge from debts is one of the remediation methods to resolve the debtor's bankruptcy. The idea is to allow the debtors to exempt from the payment of their debts and start new life free of debt. Discharge from debts is a tool for solving the so-called consumer bankruptcy people who are not entrepreneurs. The part of the thesis deals with the personal scope of discharge. Furthermore, it is up to the court to decide whether it discharges debtors from their debts. The basic premise is the honest intention of the debtor. Another assumption is the fact that the debtor will satisfy at least 30 percent of the claims of unsecured creditors. Discharge from the debts can be secured in two ways. The first way is to liquidate the debtor's estate and the second, is to fulfill monthly payments in five years, the second solution is often preferred by the unsecured...

The legal enactment No. 182/2006 Sb., Insolvency Act that came into force on January 1st 2008 introduced the new concept of Discharge of Debts in the Czech Law system. This mode of solution is intended solely for non-entrepreneurs (this institute cannot be used for companies or individual entrepreneurs). Personal bankruptcies account for the majority of insolvency proceedings in the territory of the Czech Republic and it can be assumed that this long-lasting trend will continue to grow. The institute of Discharge of Debts gives consumers an effective opportunity to legally get rid of their debts through one of two ways, namely repayment schedule and sale of the debtor's assets, and start again with a clean slate as an active member of the Economic Society. The aim of this thesis is to give a comprehensive analysis of the institute of Discharge of Debts, from defining the causes that lead to bankruptcy, interpretation of basic concepts, to the description of the necessary proceedings leading to the declaration of bankruptcy, process of Discharge of Debts itself and differences of its two basic ways. This theoretical basis is supplemented by my knowledge that I have gained during my internship in a law office, which also performs the function of insolvency trustee. The thesis is composed of eight...

IN ENGLISH: Reorganisation as a non-liquidation solution of bankruptcy: The main purpose of my final thesis is to analyse a non-liquidation solution of bankruptcy of a debtor under the Czech act No. 184/2006 Sb. (Coll.) hereinafter called as Insolvency Act, with all respect to the actual judicial decisions, legal opinion of the professional public and economic aspects as well. Some issues under Czech law are given in comparison with the Slovenian act No. 7/2005 Zz. (Coll). The main reason for my research is the increasing importance of insolvency law after the economic crise in 2007 to 2009. Since many companies are still to be winded-up, although, it is not the most effective form of figuring out their decline in light of all-society economic stand-point. The thesis is divided into 17 chapters. Each chapter is composed of several main points. The first part subsumes ten chapters, which describes basic elements of incolvency proceedings that are very important for the overview comprehension of the reorganization. The aforementioned part of my thesis covers the description of the historical development and basic elements of incolvency proceedings, explenation of bankruptcy, decision of bankruptcy, petition for bankruptcy order, parties to incolvency proceedings, automatic stay, bankrupt's estate....
