Social security contributions arrears after settlement agreement do not exempt management from bankruptcy liability.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that exonerated a company's board member from liability for social security arrears. The facts show the company entered a settlement agreement in 1999 but subsequently failed to pay contributions, leading to a bankruptcy petition. The court held that the agreement did not cover public-law debts arising after its approval and that the board member remained liable for these new obligations. Consequently, the court found the bankruptcy filing timely and the lower court's decision to absolve the individual incorrect.
