## Basis
- [Law No. 11.101/2005 (Planalto, in Portuguese)](https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2004-2006/2005/lei/l11101.htm): Art. 56, § 1º, establishes that the date of the general meeting shall not exceed 150 days from the approval of the judicial recovery processing.

## How it applies
The 150-day deadline starts from the date the judge approves the judicial recovery processing. This deadline is non-extendable and must be respected for holding the general meeting of creditors, which will decide on the recovery plan presented by the debtor.

## Limits
- The deadline does not apply to the general meeting called for purposes other than approving the judicial recovery plan (e.g., establishment or replacement of the Creditors' Committee).
- If the plan is rejected, the judge will declare the debtor's bankruptcy (art. 56, § 4º), with no provision for extending the deadline for a new meeting.
- Law 14.112/2020 introduced alternative mechanisms (such as approval by adhesion term), but did not change the maximum 150-day deadline for the general meeting.
- This record does not cover deadlines for extraordinary meetings or other situations not provided for in art. 56 of Law 11.101/2005.
- Subsequent changes should be verified in the official source (Planalto) or legislative updates.
