Download Restructuring & Insolvency Newsletter - February 2014

A reference of the recent Law 26/2013, on savings banks and banking foundations, heads the new “Newsletter” on Restructuring & Insolvency. This regulation extends the concept of “financial institution” (related to the required majority for endorsement of refinancing agreements) to SAREB and to those who, under any title, acquire the claims owned by SAREB. It also includes a mention to the Royal Decree-Law 1/2014, which modifies the position of the State within the insolvency proceedings of toll-roads.

As usual, the bulletin contains an outstanding compilation of the latest judicial cases on insolvency proceedings and the latest publications by our professionals.
