Anyone can request access to an open file. You can search for the file in question by clicking on ‘request access to an open file’ on the homepage. Your access application will be reviewed by:
- The curator – for bankruptcies occurring before 1 May 2018
- The examining magistrate – for bankruptcies occurring after 1 May 2018
- The delegated judge – for judicial reorganisation proceedings when the request for access is made by a party other than a creditor
- The debtor (or his counsel) - for the judicial reorganisation procedures, when the request for access is made by a creditor
- The debtor in the judicial reorganisation procedure or undergoing bankruptcy, and this only and when:
- the request for access is made by the counsel for the debtor and the debtor is effectively linked to the file in question.
- If a debtor is not linked to the file, the requests for access submitted by the debtor’s counsel will be handled by one of the following (see also above):
- Delegated judge (judicial reorganisation proceedings)
- Examining magistrate (bankruptcies with a judgement date after 1 May 2018)
- Trustee (bankruptcies with a judgement date before 1 May 2018)
You will receive an email and a notification as soon as your access has been granted. If access is refused, you will also be informed of the reason in the notification and email. If you have access to a file and the file is closed, this access remains in the RegSol archive.
If you do not yet have access to a file that has been closed in the meantime, the question will be submitted to the clerk’s office of the Corporate Court concerned, which can then grant you access by inviting you to take a look at a closed file in the archive.
