Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
The course is optional. It is suggested to the students because this course provides highly topical and practical value for all those who have a minimal knowledge of private law, and Civil procedure law. We refer a large scope of students, proceeding as an example, of the careers of Law, Business Administration, Economics, Business, Joint Studies of Law & Journalism, Law & Economics, Law & Business Administration, and even engineering.
This course aims to provide students with the skills and tools required to deepen and master, from a procedural perspective, the instrument of universal enforcement remedy, we know as "Insolvency proceedings". This procedure, the usefulness and relevance in the current economic crisis in which we find ourselves, is certainly transcendental, was implemented by the Insolvency Law 22/2003, of 9 July, which replaced the deficit, dispersed and chaotic legal regulation on this matter was then prevailing in our country. Recent reforms have been carried out by Royal Decree Law 3/2009, of 27 March, on urgent tax, financial and bankruptcy, Law 38/2011, of October 10 of the Law Reform bankruptcy and the recently operated by Royal Decree-Law 4/2014 of 7 March. The purpose of bankruptcy proceedings is to try to solve the problems posed by insolvency of a common debtor who can not face their regular duties, facilitating equal competition to satisfy creditors orderly credits. In this way we ensure both the survival of the economic business of the debtor concerned or, if possible, and protect the rights of creditors. It is ultimately the student becomes familiar with the procedural aspects of the bankruptcy process, through the study and analysis of issues relating to jurisdiction and the parties involved and the process with different phases and their effects, the concepts of active mass passive mass, sections, incidents and resources, and the problems that have arisen in its practical application as a result of deficiencies in procedural matters that have been detected by the courts since its entry into force in 2003. For this purpose, the analysis will be essential, understanding and implementation of the crucial Law 22/2003, of the bankruptcy and updated legislation and complementary.
