Filed in Outlook

Recently, one of my customers had to declare bankruptcy. This is nothing new to me. Unfortunately, this does sometimes happen. As usual, we got mail from the insolvency administrator, who sent us a Forderungsanmeldung (form to file a claim) and a copy of the court order on commencement of proceedings. Because the customer was a GbR (partnership under civil code), we even got two letters from different insolvency administrators, one for each partner in the GbR. And one of these letters made me smile.

In the court order, that I was sent, the court set a date for the creditors’ meeting. Before the secretary of the second insolvency administrator had made the copy of the court order for the creditors (this includes me, unfortunately) she had made two small hand-written notes next to the date of the creditors’ meeting. One note said not. (in English: “filed”). The other note right next to the first note said in Outlook not. (in English: “filed in Outlook”). Each note was accompanied by a date and a short signature.

Time for Lightning to get out of beta, I guess.
