طلب إشهار الإفلاس أو التصفية في حالة فشل الأعمال التجارية

أنا شريك في شركة مدنية صغيرة بموجب ترخيص مهني صادرًا عن دائرة التنمية الاقتصادية.

خسرت الشركة قضايا حيث يتعين علينا دفع 400,500 درهم إماراتي. هذه القضايا في مرحلة التنفيذ.

لدى الشركة أيضًا ديون بقيمة 364,000 درهم في دفاترنا. الشركة ليست في وضع يمكنها من سداد الديون المثبتة في محكمة التنفيذ أو الديون المعلقة المذكورة في دفاترنا. أريد إغلاق الشركة المدنية.

السؤال الأول: هل الأفضل بالنسبة لي تقديم طلب لإشهار الإفلاس أم تقديم طلب لتصفية الشركة؟

(أم ستبدأ المحكمة على الفور في اتخاذ أحد الإجراءات إذا قمت بتسجيل الإجراء الآخر؟)

السؤال الثاني: سمعت أن المحكمة ستبدأ الإجراءات الجنائية تلقائيًا إذا بدأت إجراءات الإفلاس. هل هذا الأمر صحيحًا؟ ما القواعد التي يجب عليّ اتباعها لتجنب التهم الجنائية؟

السؤال الثالث: بعد إعلان إفلاس الشركة المدنية، هل سيظل على الشركاء الدفع للدائنين (حسب نسبة الأسهم التي يمتلكونها في الشركة المدنية) لأن شركتنا ليست شركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة.

شكرًا لك على مساعدتك.

Hi,

You have the liquidation option and can be implemented either judicially by a request of one partner or mutually agreed by the shareholders.

The second method is easier and will lead to the appointment of a certified liquidator who shall take over the company operations till closure.

We need to review the company documents to advise further.

Kindly contact us via phone or email.

Hello,

As per your query, even in bankruptcy, if the debt is not settled and the company assets are not sufficient to close the debt, the board of directors and the partners are still liable.

There can be both insolvency and liquidation proceedings to be filed by placing the application to the court to appoint a liquidator and to declare the partners as insolvent.

The timeline of the proceedings is also important. This is a very generic solution, we need to check the entire scenario.

Please contact us via phone or email for further assistance!

Dear Questioner,

Answer for Q1: Liquidation through the agreement of all partners is the best option.

Q2: Not necessarily, depends on the situation and whether the partners or board members have misused the funds.

Q3: We do not recommend bankruptcy, we prefer liquidation and yes they could be still liable with their personal money.

Thank you.

I forgot to mention that the partners of the civil company are not in agreement on how to pay the debts of the company.

One partner refuses to acknowledge the company debts and refuses to pay his share. Hence liquidation by mutual agreement is not an option.

A) How to proceed in this situation where one partner does not cooperate, does not reply to messages and does not meet?

B) If we file for bankruptcy of the civil company, will the court order each partner to pay the company debts in the ratio of their shares in the company as per Article (671) of UAE Civil Transactions Law for civil companies :

1. If the assets of the partnership do not cover the debts related to its objects, the partners shall be liable for the balance of these debts from their own funds, each in proportion to their share in the losses of the partnership.

2. If, however it is provided in the partnership’s deed that they are jointly and severally liable, they shall all jointly be accountable for the debt.

Thank you, Sir!
