Now the draft is under examination of of the Senate for the second parliamentary passage. The draft law defines the guidelines for the comprehensive reform on bankruptcy proceedings, providing:
- the explicit contribution “of the elaborations of corporate science” in order to define the state of crisis as a chance of future insolvency;
- the priority treatment of proposals which involve overcoming the crisis by ensuring business continuity, even through an entrepreneur different from the debtor;
- the definition of “cases” of legitimacy of a third party to promote said composition proceedings against the debtor experiencing the state of insolvency “and not a mere crisis”.
