Abstract:

The objective of this research is to examine whether the establishment of bad faith on the part of the debtor meant a significant change in the design as provided for by Law N°20.720. In this sense, it should be noted that the original version of Law N°20.720 provided favorable treatment for debtors, even in bankruptcy liquidation proceedings. An important for this is the effect of extinguishing outstanding balances of credits as a result of these bankruptcy proceedings, since Law N°21.563 considered an incident of bad faith any that limits or prevents such an effect. It is thus useful to inquire as to whether the recognition of this incident modifies the initial design, or whether it manages to preserve a regulation favorable to debtors through other legislative modifications.

Keywords:

Bankruptcy Law, Bankruptcy liquidation proceedings, Incidental bad faith on the part of the debtor, Efficiency.

1. INTRODUCCIÓN

La última reforma a la ley concursal (Ley N°21.563), ha introducido diversas modificaciones, siendo uno de los cambios normativos relevantes la excepción al efecto de liberación de los saldos insolutos que quedan al término del procedimiento concursal de liquidación. Lo anterior ocurrirá en caso de que se declare la mala fe del deudor, consagrando incentivos para que ést e se comporte colaborativa y lealmente con sus acreedores antes y durante el procedimiento concursal de liquidación.
