Insolvency Proceedings
Insolvency proceedings are legal processes that occur when an individual or business cannot pay their debts. These proceedings help to manage and resolve financial difficulties by either reorganizing debts to allow for repayment over time or liquidating assets to pay creditors. In many jurisdictions, insolvency proceedings are governed by specific laws to ensure fairness for both debtors and creditors. The goal is to either rehabilitate the financially distressed party or to fairly distribute their assets to creditors, preventing chaotic or unjust outcomes.
