On 4 November 2026, a lecture on the topic of Personal Bankruptcy was held at the Nitra remand prison and prison, intended for male sentenced prisoners. The lecture was conducted by external second-degree students of university studies at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica within the subject Legal Clinic for Communities I.
The aim of the lecture was to introduce to the sentenced prisoners the possibilities of solving an adverse financial situation through a legal form of debt relief. The lecturers addressed the basics of insolvency law, individual forms of debt relief – bankruptcy and a repayment schedule, as well as the conditions for debt relief and the course of bankruptcy proceedings.
They also focused on the role of the bankruptcy trustee, the rights and powers of creditors, as well as the importance of the debtor's honest intent and the reasons for the cancellation of debt relief due to dishonest intent.
The lecture provided the sentenced prisoners with useful legal information and a practical perspective on the possibilities of debt resolution, which they can use even after returning to normal life. Such educational activities contribute to increasing the legal awareness of sentenced prisoners and support their preparation for successful integration into society.
We thank the students of Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica for their professional preparation and the delivery of the lecture
