Pre-insolvency transfer: prepare contested-payment evidence
France and Switzerland use distinct routes for challenging pre-insolvency transactions. Identify the act, date, recipient, consideration and actual opening procedure. Not every earlier payment is automatically avoidable. Preserve contemporary records and standing evidence. This dossier concerns the transaction itself, separately from a director’s liability for an asset shortfall or an ordinary out-of-procedure payment dispute.
