During this stage, the legislator provided the debtor with a way that he can follow in order to surpass the insolvency case, which is represented by reorganization according to a pre- developed plan, in that when the debtor is about to encounter insolvency during a certain period, the legislator allowed the debtor to prepare a plan that demonstrates a certain mechanism for reorganizing business so that he would avoid insolvency in his economic activity, where all or most creditors accept the plan and is agreed upon by the court.
The pre- developed reorganization plan during the preliminary stage is considered as a mechanism that is used by the debtor to protect his economic activity against insolvency, where the debtor and the employees can maintain their income source, whereas the creditors assure obtaining the highest payments of debts and the national income can get more benefits.
