When a business debtor opts for the judicial recovery procedure to resolve his/her economic and financial crisis, upon approval of his/her initial claim, he/she must necessarily submit the documents required by Article 51 of Law 11.101/05 (LRF). In particular, regarding the presentation of the complete nominal list of creditors, in accordance with Articles 83 and 84 of the LRF, it should be noted that the debtor may have creditors in his/her list who are Individual Microentrepreneurs and Small Businesses, but, in view of the reform of Law 14.112/2020, it is no longer necessary to include small businesses in an isolated class. However, when the class of ME and EPP is before the General Meeting of Creditors, as provided for in Article 41, the class remained for voting purposes. This paper aims to investigate, through an inductive, exploratory and bibliographical approach, whether there is a conflict between the provisions of Art. 41, 51 and 83 of the LRF, since the class of small companies was removed in art. 83, which can be inferred from the impossibility of including them in the lists of creditors presented in the process, even though the General Meeting of Creditors (AGC) indicates the class as a voter. In this case, the investigation consists of understanding whether there is a mistake by the legislator in not removing the class of ME and EPP as a voting class in the AGC, or whether its permanence converges with the guidelines of the LRF, especially the Principles of Preservation of the Company and Equality between the classes of creditors. The conclusion is that the Judicial Administrator, when preparing the list of creditors and the general list of creditors, must separate the creditors for the purposes of art. 83, as well as a list of the voting class in accordance with art. 41, for use in the General Meeting of Creditors, Microenterprises and Small Business creditors will not appear in the first table, being listed only in the second.
