Ongoing contracts after insolvency opening
France and Switzerland treat ongoing contracts through different insolvency frameworks. Connect the opening decision, actual agreement and remaining performance before examining the relevant organ’s position. Opening does not establish one universal outcome for every contract. Keep requests, responses and later performance records together, separately from claim filing or a distressed-business acquisition offer.
