    Schuldkwijtschelding binnen het kader van een reorganisatieakkoord voortaan belast
    2024-02-01

    Het insolventierecht onderging recent een grote wijziging op het gebied van de reorganisatieprocedures. De fiscale wetgeving werd vervolgens aan deze nieuwe procedures aangepast en daarbij werden tegelijk ook de inhoud van een aantal belangrijke fiscale regels gewijzigd.

    De belangrijkste wijziging heeft als gevolg dat een schuldkwijtschelding binnen het kader van een reorganisatieakkoord fiscaal minder interessant wordt. Hoe dat precies zit, verneemt u in dit artikel.

    《公司法》对于“清算义务人”及“怠于清算责任”的重大修订解读
    2024-02-01

    引子

    将于2024年7月1日正式施行的《公司法》(以下简称“《新公司法》”)第二百三十二条对于“清算义务人”及“怠于履行清算义务责任”(以下简称“怠于清算责任”)进行了重大修订,无论是股份公司还是有限公司,董事都将成为法定的唯一清算义务人。该条规定的更新无疑将引发司法解释及其他配套规定的新一轮重大修改,并将对司法实践中本就争议颇多的怠于清算责任案件的裁判规则再次带来冲击。

    回望我国立法沿革,在超过三十年的时间中,对于“清算义务人”及“怠于清算责任”的规定修订之繁多、体系之冲突、解释之模糊,遍观整个民商事法律体系都属罕见,并由此引发了大量“类案不同判”的现象。鉴此,笔者将结合《新公司法》的最新修改,对涉及“清算义务人”和“怠于清算责任”的规定进行系统回顾及梳理,并以此为基础对《新公司法》的新修亮点及溯及力问题进行初步分析,抛砖引玉,并求教于业界。

    一、《新公司法》之前我国法律对于“清算义务人”与“怠于清算责任”的立法沿革

    普通預金を別段預金に変更して貸金債権と相殺することは、 破産法71条1項2号の財産処分行為に該当するか ~東京地判令和4年11月9日金融・商事判例1666号23頁
    2024-01-31

    第1 はじめに

    破産法67条は、破産債権者が、破産手続開始時点で破産 者に債務を負担している場合の相殺を、原則、認めています。 相殺の担保的機能に対する期待を保護するためといわれま す。

    他方、破産手続の基本原則である債権者平等を損う相殺 は禁じられています。たとえば破産法71条1項2号は、「支払 不能になった後に契約によって負担する債務を専ら破産債権 をもってする相殺に供する目的で破産者の財産の処分を内 容とする契約を破産者との間で…締結することにより破産者 に対して債務を負担した場合であって、当該契約の締結の当 時、支払不能であったことを知っていたとき」は、相殺できない と定めています。これは、破産者と破産債権者との新たな取引 等で破産債権者に債務が発生すると、破産者が債権取得の 対価を代物弁済に供したのと同視できる場合があるため、支 払不能後の代物弁済が偏頗行為否認の対象となることとの 均衡を図るものといわれます。

    One year ago, we wrote that 2022 would be remembered in the corporate bankruptcy world for the "crypto winter" that descended in November 2022 with the spectacular collapse of FTX Trading Ltd., Alameda Research, and approximately 130 other affiliated companies that ignited the meltdown of many other platforms, exchanges, lenders, and mining operations because they did business with FTX.
