Towards a New Belgian Company Code

Belgian corporate law is envisaging a new challenge: a new company code will be launched. The objective is to render Belgian company law more attractive for Belgian and foreign entrepreneurs conducting business in- and outside Belgian territory by only retaining four legal forms: the partnership, the private limited liability company, the public limited liability company and the co-operative company with limited liability.  The intentions are ambitious and the new Company code strives to more simplification, flexibility, abolition of outdated rules and types of companies and a strong supplementary law.

Because of its apparent impact on society as a whole, it was picked up by several newspapers. The article covers the context and the practical consequences of a recent decision rendered by the Brussels labor court. It held that a job-seeker living in a cohousing can apply for unemployment benefits as a “single” instead of a “cohabitant”, in absence of solidarity between the cohabitants.
