Act on the Transposition of the European Mobility Directive enters into force
On 1 September 2023, the Act on the Transposition of the Directive on cross-border conversions, mergers and demergers (the “Act”) will enter into force. The Act seeks to transpose European Directive (EU) 2019/2121 (the "Mobility Directive") into Dutch law. The Mobility Directive, which entered into force on 1 January 2020 and should have already been transposed into national law by 31 January 2023, aims to promote freedom of establishment for capital companies within the European Union ("EU"), while also strengthening the rights of stakeholders. This is achieved by introducing new rules on cross-border conversions and demergers and adapting the already existing rules on cross-border mergers.

The restructuring plan under the WHOA
The Act on the court approval of private restructuring plans (Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord or WHOA) makes it easier for a company in financial distress to sit down with its creditors and shareholders at the negotiating table in order to agree upon a reduction of its debt burden as set out in a restructuring plan. Such a restructuring plan can be submitted to the court for ratification (homologatie). After ratification of the restructuring plan, all affected creditors or shareholders are bound by the terms of the plan.

Earlier clarity on reintegration obligations for small and medium-sized employers
Recently the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment announced several intended legislative amendments. One of the proposed amendments concerns the possibility for small and medium-sized employers (up to 100 employees) – after the first year of illness – to enter into mutual agreement with their ill employees to finalize reintegration in the first track, if this reintegration no longer seems appropriate. In concrete terms, this means that in such cases, the ill employee will no longer be required to reintegrate back to work with the help of the employer in order to resume his/her duties within the current organization.

PROVISIONALLY ENFORCEABLE JUDGMENT
Legal proceedings usually end with a judgment. If the judgment is not voluntarily complied with, the bailiff can enforce the judgment. The bailiff then proceeds with the execution of the judgment. The enforcement of a judgment is suspended in the event that the party against whom judgment has been given lodges an ‘ordinary legal remedy’ (opposition (verzet), appeal (hoger beroep) or cassation (cassatie)), unless the judgment has been declared provisionally enforceable. In practice, a significant number of judgments are declared provisionally enforceable. What exactly does this mean and what are the (im)possibilities when a judgment has been declared provisionally enforceable and the execution of the judgment has already begun?
