Copenhagen court declares Cafe Robert ApS bankrupt after failed restructuring

Cafe Robert ApS has been taken into bankruptcy by decree of 9 November 2026 issued by the bankruptcy division (skifteret) of the Maritime and Commercial Court in Copenhagen (Sø- og Handelsretten). The ruling followed the collapse of a restructuring procedure (rekonstruktionsbehandling) that began when the company’s application was received on 21 September 2026. The decree is published in Statstidende of 13 November 2026, under reference S11112026-61, with case number K 1940/26-G.

Context of the ruling

The decree states that the bankruptcy was opened “on the basis of a terminated restructuring procedure” — the Danish route by which a business attempts to negotiate a plan with its creditors before a full bankruptcy. The restructuring application was received by the court on 21 September 2026, meaning the company spent roughly seven weeks under that protection before the case converted to bankruptcy.

Cafe Robert ApS is registered under CVR number 40093052 and has given its address as Blankavej 29, 4th floor, 2500 Valby. The decree adds that the company also traded from a second location at Vesterbrogade 161, 1800 Frederiksberg C, placing both the Valby and Frederiksberg operations within the estate’s scope.

• Additional business address: Vesterbrogade 161, 1800 Frederiksberg C
• Court: Sø- og Handelsretten, Skifteretten, Amaliegade 35, 2nd floor, 1256 København K
• Case number: K 1940/26-G
• Trustee (kurator): lawyer Henrik Selchau Poulsen, Nørregade 21, 1165 København K

Four weeks for creditors to file claims

Any person holding a claim against the debtor is invited to notify it to the trustee within four weeks of the announcement, calculated up to the bankruptcy date. The notice advises that the filing be accompanied by documentation of the claim, and that any interest must be recalculated as of the date of the bankruptcy decree rather than carried over from the restructuring period.

One provision eases the burden on existing creditors: claims already submitted during the preceding restructuring will be taken into account without a fresh filing, although any interest accrued must still be stated separately and reported as of the bankruptcy date.

No creditors’ meeting has been scheduled

The decree records that no meeting has been convened to elect a trustee or to appoint a creditors’ committee — both decisions therefore rest with the court unless a creditor acts. A request for such a meeting must be submitted in writing to Sø- og Handelsrettens skifteret within three weeks of the announcement, i.e. by early December 2026 counting from 13 November.

Until then, the estate is administered by Henrik Selchau Poulsen, who is the sole point of contact for claims and for any information on the assets of the two former café locations.

Why it matters

The case is a compact illustration of how quickly a Danish restructuring can end in bankruptcy: an application filed on 21 September produced a court decree less than seven weeks later, and the conversion date fixes the moment at which all claims and interest are calculated. For suppliers, landlords and staff of the Valby and Frederiksberg premises, the practical consequence is a hard four-week window — expiring in mid-December — to secure a place in the estate, since no creditors’ meeting is currently programmed and late filings risk being left outside the distribution.
