The rectification of the judicial recovery plan of the main debtor does imply in the extinction of the enforcement of the extrajudicial instrument filed against coobliged member.
In fact, the novation ruled in Act 11101/2005 is very different from the novation provided by the civil law. If the civil novation, as a rule, extinguishes the debt guarantees, including the security interests provided by third parties strange to the pact (Art. 364 of CC), the novation arising from the judicial recovery plan has, as a rule, the maintenance of the guarantees (Art. 59, main section, of Act 11101/2005), mainly the security interests, which shall only be supressed or replaced “upon express approval of the creditor holder of the relevant guarantee” on occasion of the transmission of the good encumbered (Art. 50, § 1, of Act 11101/2005). Moreover, the specific novation of the judicial recovery is dissolved in the event of bankruptcy, when the “creditors shall have their rights and guarantees reconstituted in the conditions originally contracted” (Art. 61, § 2, of Act 11101/2005.
