１ はじめに
会社について債権放棄を伴う私的整理や法的整理を行う 際、経営者の保証債務については経営者保証ガイドライン （以下「GL」）を利用した保証債務整理を検討するところ、保 証人である経営者が金融機関の個人ローンやクレジットカー ドローン等の個人借入を行っていたという場合があります。本 稿では、保証人個人の借入に関するGL上の取扱いをご説明 いたします1 。
２ 固有債権者のGL上の取扱い
GLにおける対象債権者とは、「中小企業に対する金融債 権を有する金融機関等であって、現に経営者に対して保証 債権を有するもの」と定められており、具体的には、金融機 関、信用保証協会、サービサー等を指します（GL1、 GLQ1-1）。固有債権者は、本来的な対象債権者ではありま せん。 しかし、GLでは固有債権についても債務整理の対象にす ることを禁止しておらず、「弁済計画の履行に重大な影響を 及ぼす恐れのある債権者については、対象債権者に含める ことができる」（GL7(3)④ロ）とされています2 。すなわち、固有 債権者の同意があれば、固有債権を含めて債務整理を行う ことができます。

In Conway and others v Plass and others, the High Court has provided guidance on when contract liabilities incurred by administrators will be treated as administration expenses under the Lundy Granite principle.
Factual Background
The UK retail and hospitality sectors are entering the crucial winter trading period under renewed pressure following the Chancellor’s November Budget. Economic growth remains weak, and the Office for Budget Responsibility has downgraded its annual economic forecasts through to 2030, signalling that the operating environment for consumer-facing businesses is likely to remain difficult for some time. Meanwhile, insolvency levels continue their upward trajectory: 2,029 company insolvencies were recorded in October 2025, a 17% increase compared with the same month last year.
In Nordic Power Partners P/S & Ors v Rio Alto Energia, Empreendimentos E Participacoes LTDA & Ors [2025] EWHC 2875 (Comm), the Commercial Court reconfirmed its willingness to grant interim relief to an energy investor in the context of international projects (here related to Brazil).
