this legal proceeding was designed for that purpose, so that the company could have a period during which no claims regarding its debts could be filed against it by the <strong>creditors<\/strong> and that, in exchange for temporarily suspending potential claims or agreeing to discounts and debt forgiveness, the company can be turned around and its operations continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One of the objectives of the business owner and the manager will be to continue the company's operations, the purpose of which is the promotion and sale of <strong>real estate<\/strong>, you may continue to perform these tasks within the framework of the <strong>contest<\/strong> from <strong>creditors<\/strong> without the achievement of the purpose of the activity of the <strong>Developer<\/strong>, which is the sale of the <strong>real estate<\/strong> that promotes or constructs [such a project], requires judicial authorization since it pertains to the company's business activities; and may only be required by the <strong>Bankruptcy Law <\/strong>judicial authorization in cases involving property or assets that constitute their estate and assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The first thing to note is that once the <strong>bankruptcy proceedings<\/strong> the following will not be affected: <strong>real estate purchase agreements<\/strong> with outstanding reciprocal obligations that must be fulfilled by both the debtor in bankruptcy and the <strong>buyer<\/strong> as provided for in Article 62.2 of the Insolvency Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The <strong>Developer <\/strong>in <strong>contest<\/strong> It will indeed be able to continue its operations, but:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> What happens in the event of a breach of contract on your part, regarding the <strong>real estate purchase agreement<\/strong>?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this case, it will be necessary to determine whether the breach of contract occurred while the <strong>contest<\/strong> from the <strong>Real Estate Developer<\/strong>, or whether it had occurred earlier, and this distinction is very important for the <strong>buyers <\/strong>because it will determine his status within the <strong>bankruptcy proceedings<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29969 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/promotor-inmobiliario.jpg\" alt=\"real estate developer\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the failure to comply with the <strong>Real Estate Purchase Agreement<\/strong> is caused by a failure to comply with the <strong>Real Estate Developer<\/strong>, while the bankruptcy proceedings are pending, the <strong>buyers<\/strong> they would find that, after filing the appropriate legal claim for a ruling and for benefits, they would obtain a declaration recognizing their claim against the estate in accordance with the provisions of Article 62.2 of the <strong>Bankruptcy Law.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This means that the amounts provided by the <strong>real estate buyers<\/strong> The costs associated with obtaining this judicial recognition shall be borne by the company as an expense arising from its activities during the <strong>contest<\/strong> and will be settled on a preferential basis, without being included on the list of <strong>creditors<\/strong> and, therefore, without the need to be subject to a collective bargaining agreement or to the consequences of the company's liquidation, should that ultimately occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the breach of the real estate purchase agreement occurred before the declaration of the <strong>contest<\/strong> we would find that the <strong>buyers <\/strong>would become <strong>creditors,<\/strong> some <strong>creditors <\/strong>more, and they would be added to the list of <strong>creditors<\/strong> ordinary employees, and they would therefore be covered by any agreement signed, or their status would ultimately depend on the outcome of the company's liquidation in <strong>contest<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A motion to rescind a real estate purchase agreement in insolvency proceedings may therefore only be filed in the <strong>contest<\/strong> from <strong>creditors<\/strong> if the reason for the termination occurred after <strong>contest<\/strong>, but he will never be able to perform at a <strong>contest<\/strong> termination of a sales contract for a reason that occurred prior to <strong>contest<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thus, by participating as just another creditor, it can be said that the <strong>contest<\/strong> of a <strong>Real Estate Developer<\/strong> places the <strong>buyer<\/strong> in a difficult situation and on an equal footing with others <strong>creditors<\/strong> with their contracts contingent on whether or not the company in bankruptcy proceedings can continue its operations;

one is that of the <strong>administrator<\/strong> of the company in relation to the <strong>creditors<\/strong> in the context of the management and operation of the business, the liability for which would fall under the provisions of the Capital Companies Act, and, on the other hand, the liability that the <strong>buyer<\/strong> The owner of a residential property may require the manager of a company that did not guarantee the <strong>advance payments<\/strong> since this liability would fall under the liability imposed on him for violating a law on <em>ius cogens<\/em> and outside the scope of the company's economic activities<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thus, it is possible\u2014and in fact has often happened\u2014to secure a conviction against the <strong>administrator<\/strong> out of a sense of responsibility toward <strong>buyer<\/strong> and the simultaneous declaration of innocence in the indictment filed by the same prosecutor in the <strong>contest<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our firm's experience in <strong>Carlos Ba\u00f1o Le\u00f3n's Real Estate Lawyers in Alicante<\/strong>, in the <strong>contests<\/strong> big ones <strong>Real Estate Developers<\/strong> in the Valencian Community, has been that the vast majority of <strong>creditors<\/strong> <strong>homebuyers,<\/strong> either they had already obtained court rulings terminating their sales contracts or they were in the midst of legal proceedings, and the result for all of them has been that they have been incorporated as <strong>creditors<\/strong> ordinary employees and have been subject to the agreements that have been adopted, as well as to the settlements of the <strong>Real Estate Developers<\/strong>, which is what has happened in the vast majority of cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Real estate attorneys at Carlos Ba\u00f1o Le\u00f3n's law firm in Alicante <\/strong>They have extensive experience in this field and throughout Spain, so we are here to assist you with any questions you may have regarding this area of law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfQu\u00e9 afectaci\u00f3n produce un concurso de acreedores de una Promotora inmobiliaria, en los contratos de compraventa inmobiliarios suscritos previamente a su declaraci\u00f3n de concurso de acreedores?
