On Wednesday 26 April 2023, a co-hosted webinar of Lazarski University in Warsaw, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, and CERIL will take place on:

EU sanctions against Russia

and their effects on the bankruptcies of EU-based enterprises

About

EU sanctions against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, together with their national executive implementations effected in several viable businesses to freeze their operations and in consequence become insolvent and bankrupt. These enterprises pushed into the bankruptcy (liquidation) proceedings, in one single moment have lost their ability to buy, sell, pay and hire personnel. Bankruptcy regimes had to comply with the sanctions’ regime – and to say, they were inconsistent is to say nothing.

In one of the premiere Polish cases – the GoSport bankruptcy proceedings – the once successful and fully viable sport equipment retailer with a broad chain of shops could not exercise its basic, day-to-day duties and operations without a special permission of the head of Polish tax and duties authority. The employees had do be dismissed and the piecemeal liquidation had to be performed by the receiver.
