Just positioned judicial: Gschwandtner warns of insolven wave!

In the recent elections of the staff representative in Austria, the Göd-FCG voter group achieved an impressive success by winning 78.51 % of the vote. In a unanimous election result, Werner Gschwandtner, the leading judicial officer of the Higher Regional Court Linz and chairman of the Austrian judicial union, was elected as the new top staff representative of the judiciary. Gschwandtner, who comes from St. Thomas am Bladderstein, now takes over the representation for a large number of professional groups in the Justiwesen, including administrative employees, graduate rights workers and district lawyers, such as www.tips.at reported.

A central concern of Gschwandtner in his new role is to improve the attractiveness of jobs in the judicial area. He emphasizes the need for a new salary system in order to be able to win the best applicants. "In order to be able to win in the competition on the job market: we still have to do a lot on the inside," says Gschwandtner. This appeal comes at a critical time, since the judiciary is confronted with a worrying increase in corporate insolvencies. In 2023 there were 5,490 corporate competitions; This year, around 7,000 bankruptcies will be expected, which corresponds to an increase of 27 % - the highest value since 2009, reported apa ots .

The consequences of this bankruptcy rate not only affect companies, but also private individuals. Gschwandtner warns that a wave of private bankruptcies will often follow the corporate insolvencies. "We expect a wave of applications in the next few months," he explains and emphasizes that the handling of these cases is taken over by the diploma law nurse. These must adapt to a significant increase in applications. "In these areas we have urgent personnel needs so that debtors and creditors quickly get their rights," added Gschwandtner. His commitment underlines the urgent need for effective and fast judicial work in the middle of the current economic challenges.
