Abstract

The «exception laws» to face the economic crisis derived from the COVID-19 pandemic has wanted to delay the inevitable: the insolvency crises of many companies. But, in March 2021, the moratorium ends and the «new insolvency law» must come into force. In this sense, before transposing the 2019 Community Directive on restructuring and insolvency into domestic law (the deadline ends in July 2020), the Spanish Government preferred to carry out a recast, clarification and harmonization of the preceding Bankruptcy Law (2003). The objective sought is to have a clear regulation, to establish, later, a more efficient and coherent Business Crisis Law with the objective of rescuing companies and employment.

However, the new Spanish Bankruptcy Law has not limited itself to «clarifying» interpretative doubts, it has gone further. Therefore, this legislative option creates relevant problems due to its excess (ultra vires vice). Some labor aspects of the business competition (example: the transfer of production units) have undergone significant changes. This study makes a complete balance of the main labor and social security novelties of the new Bankruptcy Law, trying to purge those that have incurred an ultra vires vice.
