简介

中国于 1986 年颁布《企业破产法》。《企业破产法》属全国性法律，但只适用于企业清盘， 并不涵盖自然人破产。中国首部个人破产法规《深圳经济特区个人破产条例》（「该条例」） 于 2020 年 8 月 31 日颁布，并已于 2021 年 3 月 1 日生效。当局在草拟该条例时，参考了多个 市场经济发展较为成熟的司法管辖区的法律，例如英国、美国、德国、日本、香港及台湾。该 条例旨在建立完整的现代化破产制度，让诚实而不幸的债务人能够从债务危机中解脱出来。

申请个人破产的准则

根据该条例第二条，该条例适用于符合下列准则的自然人：

1. 在深圳经济特区居住；
2. 连续三年缴纳社会保险费；及
3. 资产不足以清偿全部债务或因生产经营、生活消费导致丧失清偿债务能力。

上述债务人应当清偿债务或与债权人达成和解协议。如债务人符合以上准则但有未来可预期收 入，则可进行重整。债务人若已按照该条例展开个人破产程序，其配偶亦可提交个人破产申 请，无需符合关于居住地及社会保险费的准则。

简介

债务偿还安排计划是一个重组公司债务的方法，让公司与其债权人或任何类别债权人订立安排 或达成妥协。在香港，香港法例第 622 章《公司条例》第 13 部规管有关安排及妥协。法院可 下令债权人就拟议订立的安排或妥协举行会议，并可在其后认许某安排或妥协，前提是在出席 该会议且有投票的债权人中，占当中价值最少 75%的过半数债权人或类别债权人同意该安排 或妥协。

在英国，《2006 年公司法》第 26 部列出有关债务偿还安排计划的相关规定。最近在英国 Port Finance Investment Limited [2021] EWHC 378 (Ch) 一案中，英国高等法院重申有关更改针对 第三方之权利及类别组合的原则。
