The creditors' meeting is one of the most important steps in the corporate bankruptcy process under the 2014 Bankruptcy Law. It serves as a forum for creditors and the business to discuss and consider debt resolution options, assess the company's recovery potential, or approve asset liquidation plans. The meeting helps protect the rights of all parties involved, ensuring the bankruptcy process is transparent, lawful, and fair.
