Spanish term

estado de quiebra

Spanish to English Law/Patents Bankruptcy Law
Art. 101.- Rehabilitación del quebrado

Transcurrido el plazo de cinco (5) años contado desde la fecha de expedición de la resolución judicial que declara la quiebra, **cesará el estado de quiebra**, aun cuando los créditos no se hubieran alcanzado a pagar con los bienes del quebrado, siempre que se acredite que el deudor no ha sido condenado por los delitos previstos en los Artículos 209º, 211º, 212º y/o 213º del Código Penal, así como que no tiene procedimiento penal abierto por dichos delitos.

I would translate it as follows, but it does not make any sense to me:

The state of bankruptcy shall terminate five (5) days after the issuance date of the judicial decision declaring the bankruptcy,...

Why is the state of bankruptcy terminated if it has just been declared by the court five days earlier??? Or does "estado de quiebra" refer to a document ("bankruptcy statement" or something like that)?

Thanks in advance for your help!

bankruptcy disqualification period

The period shall end i.e. the 'bankrupt shall be discharged' after 5 years.

Rehabilitacion del quebrado = discharge of the bankrupt. In GB, there's a similar disqualification (US: quarantine?) period during which the bankrupt can't raise credit or hold company directorships etc. without incurring a criminal penalty i.e. going to jail.

Substitute "5 years" for "5 days", and I think your xlation is OK.

It's not that the bankrupt party will emerge from bankruptcy after 5 years (who knows how long that will take, or even if it will happen at all), but rather that 5 years after the date on which the state of bankruptcy was legally declared, said declaration will expire or be rendered null and void.
