The Incompetence of Labour Court to Proceed With the Executions of the Labour Processes After Declared Bankruptcy of the Company

Abstract

The 11.101/05 Law, when dealing with the bankruptcy of commercial companies, as basic postulates invokes the principles of universality and indivisibility of the bankruptcy court, beyond the principle of par conditio creditorum. However, the Labour Court, disregarding the purpose of the Bankruptcy Law, and in flagrant violation of the mentioned principles, insists on proceeding with the executions of the labor processes proposed against the bankrupt company, surpassing the limits of their competence, thus so completely arbitrary, piercing the corporate veil in order to reach the personal patrimony of the shareholders of the company. This practice may prejudice the bankruptcy, since, if ascertained the liability of bankrupt partners, they will no longer have patrimony to be raised by the bankruptcy, because all of its property have been realized in favor only of labor creditors, thus offending the equality that all the creditors must be treated.
