processo de insolvência

Insolvency proceedings against a company or an individual. Creditors lodge their claims with the court by a set deadline, payments are made in order of priority, and a secured creditor is paid before the others. Notices of these cases are published on the Citius system.

Where you come across it. A developer, clinic or employer has stopped paying and closed down.
Miss the deadline for lodging your claim and you will be left off the list of creditors.
