DPA-Regsol

The Central Solvency Register: the digital home of every Belgian insolvency file. Courts, trustees, debtors and creditors create, store, sign and exchange the key documents of a bankruptcy or judicial reorganisation online, in one authentic source managed by the Belgian bars.

One authentic source

The paper insolvency files of the enterprise courts, digitised. Bankruptcy declarations, reorganisation requests and claims all live in one register.

All actors, one conversation

Judges, judge-commissioners, registrars, trustees, debtors and creditors communicate inside the file itself.

Statutory access for everyone involved

Every party with a legal right of inspection gets it online, without a trip to the registry.

Built with its users

User groups and steering committees keep the register close to daily practice; features are improved and extended regularly.

What is the Central Solvency Register?

The Central Solvency Register (RegSol) is the digital platform for insolvency files. Courts (judges, judge-commissioners, delegated judges and registrars), trustees, debtors and creditors can create, store, sign and exchange the most important documents of an insolvency file online.

RegSol is managed by the community bars of Belgium: the Orde van Vlaamse Balies (OVB) and the Ordre des Barreaux francophones et germanophone (OBFG). Using the register implies acceptance of the terms of use, which you find under “terms of use” at the bottom right of the homepage.

The register is an authentic data source. It:

  • digitises the paper insolvency files kept at the enterprise courts;
  • digitises bankruptcy declarations, requests for judicial reorganisation and declarations of claim; amicable settlements concluded outside a judicial reorganisation can be uploaded too;
  • facilitates communication between all actors in the insolvency file;
  • provides the statutory right of inspection to everyone involved.

The legal framework

Bankruptcy Act of 1 December 2016 and Book XX “Insolvency of Enterprises” (Act of 11 August 2017). The Act of 1 December 2016 amended Belgian bankruptcy legislation: from then on, bankruptcy files are handled electronically through RegSol. The Act of 11 August 2017 introduced Book XX into the Code of Economic Law (CEL) and, from 1 May 2018, extended the register with:

  • the digital filing of a bankruptcy petition and the full procedural handling of the bankruptcy;
  • the digital filing of an amicable settlement concluded between parties, outside the court and any procedure;
  • the digital request for a judicial reorganisation (amicable agreement, collective agreement or transfer) and its full procedural handling.
