Ex ante judicial approval and rights to challenge decisions

Article 67

Open ↗

1. Member States may require that a decision to take a crisis prevention measure or a crisis management measure is subject to ex ante judicial approval, provided that in respect of a decision to take a crisis management measure, in accordance with national law, the procedure relating to the application for approval and the court’s consideration is expeditious. 2. Member States shall provide in national law for a right of appeal against a decision to take a crisis prevention measure or a decision to exercise any power, other than a crisis management measure, under this Directive. 3. Member States shall ensure that all persons affected by a decision to take a crisis management measure have the right to appeal against that decision. Member States shall ensure that the review of a crisis management measure is expeditious and that national courts use the economic assessments of the facts carried out by the resolution authority as a basis for their own assessment. 4. The right to appeal referred to in paragraph 3 shall be subject to the following requirements: (a) the lodging of an appeal shall not entail any automatic suspension of the effects of the challenged decision; (b) the decision of the resolution authority shall be immediately enforceable and shall give rise to a rebuttable presumption that a suspension of its enforcement would be against the public interest. Where it is necessary to protect the interests of third parties acting in good faith who have acquired shares, other instruments of ownership, assets, rights or liabilities of an undertaking under resolution by virtue of the use of resolution tools or the exercise of resolution powers by a resolution authority, the annulment of a decision of a resolution authority shall not affect any subsequent administrative acts or transactions concluded by the resolution authority concerned which were based on the annulled decision. In that case, remedies for a wrongful decision or action by the resolution authorities shall be limited to compensation for the loss suffered by the applicant as a result of the annulled decision or act.

For the purposes of paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that: (a) supervisory authorities and resolution authorities are notified without delay of any application for the opening of normal insolvency proceedings in relation to an entity referred to in Article 1(1), points (a) to (e), irrespective of whether that undertaking or entity is under resolution or whether a decision has been made public in accordance with Article 65(3) and (4); (b) the application for the opening of normal insolvency proceedings is not determined unless the notifications referred to in point (a) have been made and either of the following occurs: (i) the resolution authority has notified the authorities responsible for normal insolvency proceedings that it does not intend to take any resolution action in relation to the entity referred to in Article 1(1), points (a) to (e); (ii) a period of seven days beginning with the date on which the notifications referred to in point (a) were made has expired. 3. Without prejudice to any restriction on the enforcement of security interests imposed pursuant to Article 50, Member States shall ensure that, if necessary for the effective application of resolution tools and the effective exercise of resolution powers, resolution authorities may request a court to apply a stay for an appropriate period in accordance with the objective pursued, on any judicial action or proceeding in which an undertaking under resolution is or becomes a party.
