L’autore ricostruisce, anche alla luce nuovo del codice della crisi, la complessa fenomenologia riguardante i rapporti tra la scissione societaria e l’insolvenza delle società interessate dall’operazione. In particolare critica i recenti interventi della Cassazione in tema, evidenziando che l’antico dibattito sulla natura giuridica della scissione si rivela inutile rispetto al tema centrale della circolazione del patrimonio e della tutela delle diverse categorie di creditori. Come per la persona fisica bisogna seguire “l’eredità patrimoniale” (follow the heritage) perché il baricentro del problema non è il soggetto-società ma il relativo patrimonio, considerato che la società è una “creazione concettuale del diritto” proprio finalizzata a personificare un patrimonio. Così non è possibile la liquidazione giudiziale della scissa cancellata in quanto gli effetti sono già insiti nella procedura concorsuale della beneficiaria come non è possibile revocare (in quanto invalida o inopponibile o inefficace) “selettivamente” solo una parte dell’intera operazione, destrutturando il patrimonio sociale e lasciando “pezzi di effetti” sul terreno dopo la sua circolazione.

Abstract
The author describes, also in the light of the recently approved new insolvency law, the complex phenomenology surrounding the link between corporate demergers and the insolvency of the involved companies. A critical analysis is offered of the Cassation’s most recent interventions on the matter, contending that the traditional dispute over the legal nature of the merger is irrelevant to the main issues of asset distribution and creditor protection. Just as it happens with physical persons, one must follow the heritage as the core of the issue is not the object-society, but rather the related heritage, given that the society is a “conceptual creation of law” solely intended to personify a given heritage. Thus, it is not possible to declare the insolvency ofcompany that has been demerged as the effects of its insolvency are already treated in the insolvency procedure opened for the company that hasemergedfrom the demerger.Norit is possible to recall part of that demerger, as thiswouldendup with a fragmentation of the heritage leaving parts of it abandoned along the way.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
