Das niederländische Gesetz zur Bestätigung des außergerichtlichen Vergleichs (Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord, im Folgenden: das WHOA) ist, ebenfalls wie das Unternehmensstabilisierungs- und -restrukturierungsgesetz (StaRUG), am 1. Januar 2021 in Kraft getreten. Ebenso wie das StaRUG, führt das WHOA ein präventives Restrukturierungsverfahren ein, dass eine effektive Restrukturierung eines Unternehmens in der Krise ermöglicht, um Insolvenzen von lebensfähigen Unternehmen abwenden zu können.

In diesem Newsletter werden wir eine Bilanz nach 2,5 Jahren WHOA ziehen und einen kurzen Überblick über das niederländische WHOA-Verfahren geben. Zudem werden wir bestimmte Themen des WHOAs mit dem StaRUG vergleichen.
