O regime especial da insolvência de pessoas singulares

This article has for its purpose the boarding of the possibility afforded to debtors who are individuals to have their remaining debts of the bankruptcy process totally discharged. Once a debtor requires a bankruptcy’s declaration, he usually sees their assets to be liquidated. However, their remaining debts would rest until the prescription. As a way to avoid this and because the debtor needs to be reinstated in the market and to be given another chance, a fresh start, debtor can require a discharge. However, in Portugal, this reality’s treatment, although it is a novelty and a solution to this increasingly common indebtedness’ situation, is inadequate, very slow and very tight against the need for a quick, effective and approachable process. Therefore, we propose its revision and we give some possible solutions.
