At the end of March, the general assembly of Estonian Chamber of Enforcement agents and Trustees in Bankruptcy took place, during which, in addition to the usual approval of the financial statements, new members were also elected to the Trustees` Occupational Union board. Serving as the vice-chairman of the Estonian Chamber of Enforcement agents and Trustees in Bankruptcy and as the chairman of the Trustees' Occupational Union, Maarja Roht, a lawyer and trustee in bankruptcy from the RASK law firm, commenced her duties.
The executive board's task is to maintain cohesion in the work of bailiffs and bankruptcy trustees and to make necessary decisions. The vice-chairman organizes and represents the Chamber in the absence of the chairman or according to the designated procedure. The role of the Trustees' Occupational Union's chairman primarily involves advancing legislation related to the work of bankruptcy trustees and the profession, as well as trustees' work, including trustees, advisers, and agents.
"As the chairman of the Trustees` Occupational Union, I represent the Chamber according to my area of responsibility. The task of the three-member Trustees' Occupational Union board is to lead and implement the Chamber's activities and decisions, as well as to organize the board's work," said Roht.
Since two members of the Trustees' Occupational Union board left their positions before the end of their term, Maarja Roht filled one of the vacant positions. Urmas Tross was also elected to the Trustees` Occupational Union board. "We will continue ongoing projects such as the possible reorganization of the Chamber, the development of legislation concerning insolvency law, including the preservation of the trustee profession, trustee fees, and other major and minor issues. Additionally, our focus is on increasing cooperation and advancing partnership relations, as well as finding solutions to current issues in the field of insolvency," added Roht.
Estonian Chamber of Enforcement agents and Trustees in Bankruptcy has been operating under the Bailiffs Act since 2010. All bailiffs and individuals entitled to act as bankruptcy trustees are members of the Chamber. The highest organs of the Chamber are Enforcement agents` Occupational Union where all the Enforcement agents belong to and Trustees` Occupational Union where all the trustees belong to.
