RA 10142 Section 58

Rescission or Nullity of Certain Pre-commencement Transactions.

Section 58

SEC. 58. Rescission or Nullity of Certain Pre-commencement Transactions. — Any transaction occurring prior to commencement date entered into by the debtor or involving its funds or assets may be rescinded or declared null and void on the ground that the same was executed with intent to defraud a creditor or creditors or which constitute undue preference of creditors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a disputable presumption of such design shall arise if the transaction: provides unreasonably inadequate consideration to the debtor and is executed within ninety (90) days prior to the commencement date; involves an accelerated payment of a claim to a creditor within ninety (90) days prior to the commencement date; provides security or additional security executed within ninety (90) days prior to the commencement date; involves creditors, where a creditor obtained, or received the benefit of, more than its pro rata share in the assets of the debtor, executed at a time when the debtor was insolvent; or is intended to defeat, delay or hinder the ability of the creditors to collect claims where the effect of the transaction is to put assets of the debtor beyond the reach of creditors or to otherwise prejudice the interests of creditors. Provided, however, That nothing in this section shall prevent the court from rescinding or declaring as null and void a transaction on other grounds provided by relevant legislation and jurisprudence: Provided, further, That the provisions of the Civil Code on rescission shall in any case apply to these transactions.
