Re:
Request for a preliminary ruling — Tribunal de commerce de Bruxelles — Interpretation of Article 24 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 of 29 May 2000 on insolvency proceedings (OJ 2000 L 160, p. 1) — Payment made to a creditor of the insolvent debtor, at the request of the latter, in the absence of publication of the decision opening insolvency proceedings in another Member State — Discharge of agent acting in good faith — The scope rationae personae — Definition of ‘for the benefit of the debtor’ including solely payments made to the insolvent debtor or also payments made to its creditors
Operative part of the judgment
Article 24(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 of 29 May 2000 on insolvency proceedings must be interpreted as meaning that a payment made at the behest of a debtor subject to insolvency proceedings to one of the latter’s creditors does not fall within the scope of that provision.
