Insolventni postopki nad povezanimi družbami - z vidika evropskega pravnega reda

Pejović, Valentina (author), Simoneti, Marko (mentor)

Magistrska naloga obravnava problematiko skupne obravnave postopkov nad povezanimi družbami, zaenkrat še neurejeno področje slovenskega insolventnega prava, katero je Evropska Unija in nekaj držav članic že začelo pravno regulirati. Vprašanje insolventne povezane družbe se je po finančni krizi začelo v praksi vse pogosteje pojavljati in ima pomembno vlogo, saj so poslovne strukture sestavljene iz več povezanih podjetij postale pravilo, zlasti v mednarodnem poslovanju. Tradicionalni "atomistični" pristop je nezadovoljiv, ker privilegira obliko nad vsebino, kar ob upoštevanju obstoja skupine pomeni, da je vsaka njena sestavina ločena in samostojna pravna oseba. Ta naloga raziskuje konsolidiran pristop, ki skupine povezanih družb obravnava kot eno celoto, bodisi za namene skupne odgovornosti vseh članov, bodisi iz razlogov poenostavitve postopka. Na začetku naloge so opisani vsi osnovni pojmi, instituti in koncepti, bistveni za razumevanje širše problematike te naloge, ki se v nadaljevanju, sicer le delno dotakne tudi ekonomskega vidika združevanja družb in zahteva nekaj osnovnega znanja insolventne in gospodarske zakonodaje. Med možnimi načini urejanja takšnih vrst postopkov v grobem ločimo materialno konsolidacijo in postopkovno koordinacijo, pri čemer je tako evropska kot tudi večina nacionalnih ureditev osnovanih na drugem pristopu. V drugem delu je predstavljena evropska uredba, ki ureja to področje ter razlogi za sprejetje in vsebina novele, ki je na novo uredila postopek koordinacije in že obstoječim pravnim okvirjem za vodenje postopkov nad povezanimi družbami dodala nekatere nove institute. V nadaljevanju naloga identificira nekatere pomanjkljivosti novele in morebitne predloge za izboljšave, ki jih navajajo strokovnjaki z Inštituta za insolventno pravo in na katere bi slovenski zakonodajalec moral biti pozoren pri skoraj nujnem uzakonjenju teh določb v prihodnosti. V nalogi so predstavljeni tudi argumenti za in proti ureditvi tega področja v slovenskem pravnem redu, ki so podkrepljeni z nekaterimi stališči slovenske sodne prakse.

Abstract

The master's thesis addresses the problem of joint treatment of proceedings against members of a group of companies, for the time being an unregulated area of Slovenian insolvency law, already regulated by European legislation and some national laws of other Member States. The issue of the insolvent group of companies has started to become even more important after the financial crisis, as the business structures composed of several related companies have become a rule, especially in international business. The traditional "atomistic" approach is unsatisfactory, since it prefers the form over the content and which by taking into account the existence of the group, means that each of its components is a separate and independent legal entity. This thesis explores a consolidated approach that considers group of companies as one single entity either for the purposes of the joint responsibility of all members, either for reasons of simplification of the procedure. At the beginning of the thesis all basic terms, institutes and concepts are presented, since they are essential for understanding the wider issue, which in the continuation, although only partially, touches even the economic aspect of consolidation and requires some basic knowledge of insolvent and economic legislation. Among many possible ways of regulating such types of procedures we can roughly divide them into a substantive consolidation and procedural coordination, while most national and European regulation is based on a second approach. The second part presents the European regulation, the content and reasons for adopting the novel, which has redefined the coordination process and added some new institutes to the already existing legal framework for such proceedings. In the continuation, the thesis identifies some deficiencies of the novel and proposes possible improvements provided by experts from the Institute for Insolvency Law, to which the Slovenian legislator should pay attention when considering almost urgent enactment of such provisions in the future. This paper also presents the arguments for and against the regulation of this field in the Slovene legal order, which are corroborated by some standpoints from the Slovenian case law.
