According to the portal of the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories, the judge responsible for the Court of Bankruptcy, Judicial Recovery, Civil Insolvency and Commercial Cases of the Federal District was in charge.
It is worth noting that the ruling was issued in 2018 and specified an inventory of the assets that make up the commercial establishment, the seizure of amounts that may be present in accounts registered in the name of the bankrupt company, and a ban on the trading of cars. Vehicles in the defendant’s name.
Riachuelo’s competitor was filed for bankruptcy by JK Comércio e Material Esportivo LTDA, on 01/30/2017, due to frustrating implementation. At that time, since its location had not been determined, the defendant company was summoned by notice and did not file a defense within the legal time limit. The end of the store left everyone surprised.
