… liability resolution proceeding

A suitably euphemistic term that avoids the extraneous meanings associated with 'clearing' or 'settling' debts.

French term (edited): procédure d\\\\\\\'apurement collectif du passif

compulsory (= court-supervised) debt clearance scheme

Collective means court-supervised, so compulsory =as opposed to voluntary as precipitated by the co. creditors, the judgment debtor himself or the company itself.

Also scheme would be more usual in the UK than process or procedure for the discharge of liabilities, whilst arrangement dsometimes refers to a private, out-of-course scenario, such as an IVA - individ. vol. arrangement and CVA - company voluntary arrangement.

This is the superordinate (= general-variety) term: see fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procédure_collective for the types of arranegement going, so no need at this stage to get into the various types of UK comp- vs- vol- winding-up and the US Chapter 11 etc. Bankruptcy

Thx. IVAs and CVAs are also a red herring as voluntary and not compulsory arrangements,
