Abstract:
The inclusion of a Fresh start mechanism in our legal system was a great step forward in both economic and social spheres. By means of this mechanism, the individual debtor was granted the possibility of freeing himself from his debts and the economic, social, and even family consequences that these entails, provided he or she was in good faith. This paper will attempt to analyze this fresh start mechanism, looking at its origins, current regulation, and practical experience.
