German companies affected by last month's catastrophic floods would not have to file for insolvency until the end of October, the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV) announced
Even companies with "viable and successful business models have found themselves in financial distress," said Minister of Justice Christine Lambrecht.
Removing the filing requirement would buy companies time to take advantage of economic aid.
The repeal of the insolvency filing requirement would apply retroactively from July 10 until the end of October 2021.
It still needs final approval by the federal parliament, according to the BMJV.
The waiver should apply only "as long as the requesting parties are engaged in serious financing or reorganisation negotiations and there is a reasonable prospect of reorganization as a result", the Ministry noted.
