Retrieve an insolvency proceeding

Get the full record of a single insolvency proceeding, including its complete event history. Each proceeding is assembled from the official insolvency announcements and tracks the case from the first security measures through opening, distributions, and discharge. Cost: 10 credits

Proceeding Data Structure

The response covers the whole lifecycle of a case:
  • Status: current_status reflects where the proceeding stands (e.g. preliminary, opened, rejected_no_assets, lifted, discharge_granted)
  • Debtor: name, kind (legal or natural person), legal form, and — where resolvable — the linked company_id for direct lookup of the debtor company
  • Administration: administrator name and address, administration kind (external administration, self administration, protective shield)
  • Deadlines and distributions: claims_filing_deadline, opening and closing dates, and distribution figures (distribution_claims_total, distribution_available)
  • Events: every published announcement as a structured event with a summary, decision and publication dates, and typed details (administrator appointments, meetings, discharge decisions, distribution records)

Use Cases

Case Tracking: Follow a specific proceeding over time — new events appear as the courts publish announcements, from preliminary measures to the final discharge decision. Due Diligence: Reconstruct the full insolvency history of a counterparty, including past proceedings, administrators involved, and how the case was resolved. Legal Research: Access structured summaries of each announcement together with meeting dates and locations, without parsing the original court publications yourself.
