Corporate governance

: a influência e responsabilização do empty creditor

Abstract

This dissertation will have as main objective to develop the theme of the empty creditor. Taking into account that the law is constantly changing and every day new challenges arise, we decided that we must recognise the importance of the topic, since it is an increasingly common figure, particularly with regard to the financing of companies. In fact, the financing of companies through credit derivatives such as credit default swaps has increased and as a result of this increase emerge new challenges, for which the law does not have a clear solution, as is the case of the empty creditor role in corporate financing. Therefore, the object of our work will specify the influence that the empty creditor has within society and ways to mitigate their effects, looking at the same time addressing possible avenues of accountability to these creditors.
