After insolvency closure: preserve title and balance
France and Switzerland give different effects to insolvency closure and loss certificates. French closure for insufficient assets does not automatically restore every individual action. A Swiss bankruptcy loss certificate raises its own return-to-better-fortune questions. Preserve the actual title, decision, balance and procedural records rather than assuming every certificate or debtor situation follows the same enforcement route.
