As a living organism, the company is born, lives, and may be the seat of various disorders which most serious may lead to its disappearance. That does not leave indifferent any legislator concerned about the socio-economic balance and transaction security. So nowadays, the traditional purpose of bankruptcy law, that is the creditors' satisfaction, without disappearing entirely, is relegated to the background, behind the concern for the preservation and continuity of commercial exploitation. Various legal instruments were deployed in order to avoid the bankruptcy of the debtor that is experiencing difficulties.It is in this context that the preventive arrangement with creditors under the Uniform Act of OHADA, on the right of collective procedures for settlement of liabilities.

Ce qui ne saurait laisser indifférent tout législateur soucieux de l'équilibre socioéconomique et de la sécurité des transactions. C'est ainsi que de nos jours, la finalité traditionnelle du droit de la faillite, à savoir, le désintéressement des créanciers, sans pour autant disparaître complètement, est passé au second plan, derrière le souci de la sauvegarde et de la continuité de l'exploitation commerciale. Divers instruments juridiques sont alors déployés dans le but d'éviter la cessation des paiements du débiteur qui connaît des difficultés.C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit le concordat préventif prévu par l'Acte Uniforme de l'OHADA, relatif au droit des procédures collectives d'apurement du passif. Il s'agit d'un instrument de nature hybride, mi-conventionnel, mi-judiciaire, accordé à l'issue d'une procédure dite de règlement préventif au débiteur qui, sans être en cessation des paiements, connaît une situation économique et financière difficile, mais non irrémédiablement compromise. C'est donc un accord librement négocié et arrêté entre le débiteur et certains de ces créanciers et auquel l'intervention du juge confère la force exécutoire. Toutefois, le dispositif mis en place par le législateur africain souffre de certaines carences de nature à l'empêcher d'atteindre son but de prévention et de résolution des difficultés des entreprises. L'une des causes de l'inefficacité du concordat préventif est l'imprécision du critère d'admissibilité, ce qui a pour effet une ouverture tardive du processus, qui, à son tour, influe négativement sur l'exécution du concordat une fois conclu et homologué. Il s'est dès lors avéré utile d'explorer de nouvelles pistes pouvant conduire à une plus grande efficacité en matière de sauvegarde des entreprises en difficulté dans l'espace OHADA.

"Reinventing Bankruptcy Law explodes conventional wisdom about the history of the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act and in its place offers the first historical account of Canada's premier corporate restructuring statute. The book adopts a novel research approach that combines legal history, socio-legal theory, ideas from political science, and doctrinal legal analysis. Meticulously researched and multi-disciplinary, Reinventing Bankruptcy Law provides a comprehensive and concise history of CCAA law over the course of the twentieth century, framing developments within broader changes in Canadian institutions including federalism, judicial review, and statutory interpretation.Examining the influence of private parties and commercial practices on lawmaking, Virginia Torrie argues that CCAA law was shaped by the commercial needs of powerful creditors to restructure corporate borrowers, providing a compelling thesis about the dynamics of legal change in the context of corporate restructuring. Torrie exposes the errors in recent case law to devastating effect and argues that courts and the legislature have switched roles. This book is essential reading for the Canadian insolvency community as well as those interested in Canadian institutions, legal history, and the dynamics of change."--

This paper studies the restructuring of non-marketable debt, when the number of creditors is arbitrary, and there is asymmetric information. With multiple creditors, debt forgiveness has the character of a public good. As for the case of private provision of a public good, mechanism design methods allow to shows that debt restructuring is not generally ex-post efficient (liquidation occurs too often). We also derive an indirect mechanism, in which equity offers to exchange old debt for new claims of lowerface value, and creditors choose how much to tender. This mechanism can replicate the optimal restructuring scherme. Finally by means of an example we study repeated offers, and we show that an initial failure reveals information that discourages free-riding, and efficienty improves.
