Norwegian must return 5,000 euros to Malaga family for trip not made due to Covid

The more than 5,000 euros paid by the entire family were the subject of a lawsuit and although it was judged in favor of the family, an order for seizure of assets was even issued, explains lawyer Carlos Cómitre, The company claimed “the bankruptcy situation of its parent company”which caused the suspension of the withholding order on bank balances and taxes in Spain.

But today, four years later, the court has rejected that opposition to the ordered execution, finding that The bankruptcy proceedings “should not affect the claim for amounts paid for the tickets.”

So, they claim that this bankruptcy process has been overcome by agreement with its principal creditors in Ireland, recalling that “the procedure followed in the Republic of Ireland, invoked by the executed party, is not a bankruptcy procedure aimed at obtaining from the creditors an agreement to refinance the payments, or the realisation and liquidation of the debtor’s assets for payment to them.

“Instead, the so-called “review process” “It is a procedure aimed at avoiding the universal bankruptcy process through the judicial approval of a pact or debt restructuring agreement, with a system of “horizontal” and “vertical” dragging between the classes of creditors constituted by the debtor,” explains Cómitre.

Thanks to all this, the seizure procedure continues, according to lawyer Cómitre, although the company can appeal the order in question.
