was the object of a judgment declaring judicial reorganization


Explanation:
This is the translation we used at a law/accounting firm I worked at in Paris. It refers to a court judgment during a bankruptcy proceeding. There might be a better way of saying "placee." This translation is actually for the phrase:
"etre en redressement judiciaire."
