44 All pre-commencement per se fraudulent transactions are avoidable [LCM 113]. All other avoidable transactions (cases of constructive fraud, objective preferences and subjective preferences) are avoidable if carried out within the retroactive period [LCM 114-117]. The retroactive period is the period that begins 270 days prior to the declaration of business reorganization [LCM 112]. The judge may extend such period to an earlier date upon the reasoned request of the conciliator, the conservators or any creditor [LCM 112]. i. Per Se Fraudulent Transactions Transactions entered into before the declaration of concurso in which debtor knowingly defrauds creditors, shall be set aside if the transaction is gratuitous or, not being gratuitous, the third party shares the fraudulent intent [LCM 113]. ii. Cases of Constructive Fraud The following transactions carried out during the retroactive period shall be set aside. These transactions are conclusively presumed to be fraudulent [LCM 114]: ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Gratuitous transactions. Transactions under which the debtor pays consideration of a substantially higher value, or receives consideration of a substantially lower value, than that of its counterparty. Transactions in which conditions or terms significantly differ from then-prevailing market conditions or from trade usage or practices. Any debt remission made by the debtor. Any payment of unmatured obligations. The discount of debtor’s payables by the same debtor. iii. Objective Preferences The following transactions shall be set aside if carried out in bad faith during the retroactive period. Bad faith is rebuttably presumed [LCM 115]:
■■ ■■ Granting of collateral or additional collateral if not originally contemplated in the transaction documents. Payments-in-kind if such method of payment was not originally agreed to in the transaction documents. iv. Subjective Preferences Transactions carried out between the debtor and its related parties during the retroactive period shall be set aside if made in bad faith. Bad faith is rebuttably presumed [LCM 116 and 117]. Related parties of an individual debtor include (1) his/her spouse, concubine, blood relatives up to the fourth degree, in-law relatives up to the second degree, and adopted relatives; and (2) commercial companies in which the debtor or any of the persons mentioned in (1) is the manager or director, or directly or indirectly, together or alone, own more than 51 percent of the outstanding equity capital or have decision-making powers at the shareholders’ meetings, are entitled to appoint a majority of the directors or are otherwise entitled to make fundamental decisions for such companies. It is unclear why the definition of related parties in (2) above includes only commercial companies and not other types of entities such as civil partnerships or trusts, and whether the courts have any equitable powers to expand the concept to include them. Related parties of an entity debtor include (1) a manager or director; (2) the spouse, concubine, blood relatives up to the fourth degree, in-law relatives up to the second degree, and adopted relatives of a manager or director; (3) individuals who directly or indirectly, together or alone, own more than 51percent of such entity’s outstanding equity capital or have decision-making powers at its shareholders’ meetings, are entitled to appoint a majority of its directors or are otherwise entitled to make fundamental decisions for such entity; (4) entities sharing managers, directors or principal officers; and (5) entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control of the debtor.
