Abstract
Belgian commercial law includes a number of proceedings, applicable only to traders, relating to concerns in financial difficulties. Fredericq states:
Bankruptcy is of exclusive nature, in the sense that it is the only legal system applicable to traders who have become insolvent. A trader, legally speaking, is never in a state of insolvency.
