Appellant's Claim for Avoidance of Pre-Bankruptcy Asset Transfer Time-Barred
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellant sought the recovery of funds related to real estate sales concluded three years before the bankruptcy of the seller, with the right to challenge these transactions having been assigned to them. The court ruled that the right to file a bankruptcy avoidance action is extinguished two years after the declaration of bankruptcy, rendering the asset transfer unchallengeable even in enforcement proceedings. Specifically, because the initial claim, filed after the two-year statutory period expired, was exclusively for monetary payment and not for the primary action of in-kind restitution (real reimbursement) of the properties as required by law for preserving the avoidance right for the latter, the claim for in-kind restitution introduced subsequently was deemed forfeited, leading to the dismissal of the monetary claim as well.
