Insolventien

Insolventien is a term encountered in some Dutch-language legal and academic texts to denote instances of insolvency. Standard Dutch typically uses insolventie (singular) and insolventies (plural); insolventien appears as a stylistic or dialectal variant and may be used to refer collectively to multiple insolvency cases.

Insolventie refers to a state in which a debtor cannot meet its financial obligations as they come due. Insolventien, as a plural or collective term, is used in legal discourse to group such cases for analysis. Insolvency can be declared by the debtor or by creditors and is often the trigger for formal proceedings aimed at debt resolution, restructuring, or liquidation.

In many jurisdictions, a court-supervised process follows, such as bankruptcy, liquidation, or a restructuring plan. A trustee or administrator may be appointed, a moratorium may be put in place, and assets are assessed and distributed to creditors according to statutory priorities. The aim is to balance debtor relief with creditor rights and to preserve value where possible.

There are personal insolvencies (for individuals) and corporate insolvencies (for businesses). Insolventien procedures seek to maximize the value for creditors while offering the debtor a chance to reorganize or obtain relief, depending on local law and the specifics of the case.

Note: The term insolventien is less common in English-language sources and varies in use across languages; for English, insolvencies is the standard plural.
