Thus, contracts in progress at the time of the opening of court-supervised recovery proceedings are automatically terminated after a notice sent by the co-contractor to the administrator that has remained for more than a month without reply, to have to decide on their continuation during the observation period.

The bankruptcy judge may reduce or extend the period for response.

Although the termination is automatic, the legislature has nevertheless provided that it is necessary for ruling on such termination by order of the bankruptcy judge
