Insolvency
Checklist

Document a payment or security from the crisis

Payment and security are separate review paths. Build one chronology for each legal act.

A payment and the granting of security are not the same act. Keep a separate file for each act and combine the material only for the final legal review.

The insolvency avoidance topic page explains the framework. The avoidance risk check then helps identify documentary gaps.

Ticks are stored only in this browser. First choose the payment path or the security path for each act.

Legal framework

Section 27 IO opens the statutory avoidance framework. Section 31 IO contains specific requirements under which contemporaneous knowledge may be relevant. The checklist does not determine whether a ground is established.

The firm article on insolvency avoidance in Austria provides further guidance on payments and demands.

This checklist supports preparation and does not replace legal advice on an individual matter. The statutory ground, time periods and consequences must be reviewed against the current law and complete facts.
