Meet our Court Approval of a Private Composition Act (WHOA) team

The Act on the confirmation of private restructuring plans (Wet homologatie onderhands akkoord or WHOA) was submitted to the Dutch parliament (2019) and, once adopted, introduces a framework under which tailor-made (financial) restructuring plans can be implemented outside formal insolvency proceedings. The WHOA combines elements of the English Scheme of Arrangements, US Chapter 11 and the EU Restructuring Directive (EU 2019/1023). The Act will enter into force on 1 January 2021.
