    早期事業再生検討ワーキンググループによる中間整理の公表
    2026-01-19

    はじめに

    2025年6月13日、「円滑な事業再生を図るための事業者の金融機関等に対する債務の調整の手続等に関する法律」(以下「早期事業再生法」又は「法」といいます。)が公布されました。早期事業再生法は、公正中立な第三者機関と裁判所が関与する形で多数決(議決権の総額の4分の3以上の同意等)による債務整理を新たに認めるものであり、日本の事業再生の実務に重要な影響を与えるものです。

    早期事業再生法の公布を受け、2025年9月、産業構造審議会経済産業政策新機軸部会事業再構築小委員会の下に「早期事業再生検討ワーキンググループ」(WG)が設置され、事業再生の専門家を委員※1に加え、制度の詳細や運用について検討が進められています。同WGは2025年10月から12月にかけて3度開催され、同年12月26日、中間整理が公表されました※2。中間整理では経済産業省令で定められる内容やQ&Aで明確にすべき内容について提案されており、制度の内容や運用について理解する上で重要な意義を有します。そこで、本ニュースレターでは、中間整理の主な内容を紹介します。

    ولأن هذا الوضع قد ينتج عن ظروف خارجة عن الإرادة، مثل فقدان الوظيفة أو إخفاق استثماري أو التزامات مالية طارئة، فقد حرص المشرّع الإماراتي على توفير إطار قانوني إنساني ومتوازن لمعالجته، دون اللجوء مباشرة إلى العقوبات أو السجن
