Italian term

il Fallimento attore

Italian to English Law/Patents Law (general) Insolvency matters
I have several defence statements to translate all relating to a company which went bankrupt and which was appointed both a Trustee in Bankruptcy (curatore fallimentare) and an Official Reciever (fallimento). What is confusing is that the same person held both of these roles. Now, the bankrupt company is obviously referred to in the defence statements as "Il Fallimento X", represented by "name of person", the "Trustee in Bankruptcy" and later, the "Receiver". What I am getting confused over is when a defence statement states "il fallimento attore" - is this to be translated as the "claimant Receiver" or the "claimant Trustee in Bankruptcy"? And maybe the answer to my question lies in my being able to determine the exact dates that this person acted as Trustee and as Receiver from the remaining documents. If anyone is an insolvency practitioner and can help, please reply! Thank you so much in advance. Here is the phrase which makes me think that throughout, "il fallimento" or "il fallimento attore" or "Il Fallimento X (name of company)" should be translated as "Trustee in Bankrupcty":

"Se ne conclude che, nel dicembre 1999, il danno, che il fallimento attore sostiene essere riconducibile all’operato di tutti i convenuti, era già evidente e percepibile dai creditori e dallo stesso Curatore, all’epoca Commissario nominato nella procedura di concordato preventivo."

UK: Insolvency Scheme vs. Admin. Petitioner

Hi, Ella - Conas tá tú ?

New poster often means 'check the KudoZ glossaries first' - pls. see the weblinked answer of Bankruptcy Petitioner.

As a 'semi-insolvency practitioner' - accountants to come in here, I would make the following points on the E&W Solicitors' Finals syllabus that - like Bar Finals & vs. postgrad degree options or 'electives' - does not deal very well with the subject:

1. receiver is for a receivership of individuals & corps. - the receiver, literally receiving income & rents - may also double as receiver & special manager to manage, so run the company that - as opposed to a liquidation - may *survive and continue trading*.

2. Trustee-in-bankruptcy : curator in Scots law > is routinely used in the UK for private indviduals > in Scotland, called 'sequestration > and in London Chancery practice is called a 'Scheme Trustee' cf. IVA an individual voluntary arrangement / Personal deed of Arrangement, and allied to which point:

3. and as opposed to the US e.g. with Chapter 11 etc. bankruptcies, cos. in the UK idiomatically or journalistically go 'bust' or bankrupt, but legalistically are 'wound up on the ground of insolvency' cf. CVA: a company voluntary arrangement / Corporate Scheme of Arrangement of old.

4. Contradictory it may sound, but the *Bankruptcy* Court of the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand in London hears company winding-up petitions, often handled by fledgling Barristers.

5. The receiver, / sindico? liquidator or *Insolvency Adminsitrator* may indeed sue as a Petitioner so an Applicant or 'Supplicant' : Scots > Pursuer: on behalf of the company 'in liqudation', for instance for debt collection or to be relieved of onerous leases.

All clear?'- it shouldn't be.. 'I am better acquainted with the Spanish equivalents - like suspension of payments / vol. receivership ...'
Example sentence:

IATE: it fallimento aziendale COM fallimento delle imprese COM en business failure COM

Note from asker:
Thank you for your explanations, I think either "Claimant" or "Bankruptcy Petitioner" is the correct way to to. Will endeavour to search the databases before posting in future but something did prompt me to need to request a more detailed answer than that already existing.

Bankruptcy "XYZ" acting as a Plaintiff (US)/Applicant (EU)/Claimant (UK)

The term "Fallimento attore" appears very often in an action in the context of insolvency to set a transaction aside (in italian "Azione revocatoria"). The above translation is more tilted towards the source language (italian) while, for example in the U.S. (see below link), you could simply translate with "Plaintiff". Applicant is used in the EU context, while Claimant in the UK.
Example sentence:

il Tribunale, definitivamente pronunciando, in accoglimento della domanda avanzata dal fallimento attore, dichiara inefficace i pagamenti per complessive lire

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter judgment against Defendant: avoiding All Avoidable Transfers pursuant to 11 U.S.C

Note from asker:
Thank you. Before the replies on this post I had ended up translating it as the "bankrupt claimant" (so essentially the same as "claimant" as you suggest) but I think "bankruptcy petitioner" is better.
