In a landmark bankruptcy case judgment issued on 10 October 2021 the Dubai Court of First Instance has held the directors and managers of an insolvent Dubai-based PJSC to be personally liable to pay the outstanding debts of the previously listed company (now in liquidation) pursuant to the UAE Bankruptcy Law.

1 倒産手続の債権者申立て
債務超過や支払不能等の要件がある場合、債権者が主体と なって、債務者につき倒産・再生手続(破産、民事再生、会社 更生)の申立てをすることができます(債権者申立て一般につ いては、村上寛「倒産手続の債権者申立て」(2019年9月号)に て概説しておりますので、そちらをご参照ください。)。
債権者が債務者の破産申立てを行う事例はそこまで一般的 ではありませんが、それでも、債務の弁済に非協力的である一 方、財産隠匿や偏頗行為、放漫経営等による財産の減少が 疑われる事例は枚挙に暇がないところです。
そこで今回は、債務者が、自らに対する債権の弁済に非協力 的である一方で、既に、金品の持ち出し、預金の解約、不動産 の第三者への廉価売却、役員報酬の増額と回収等の財産隠 匿行為、あるいは全債権を支払うことのできない状態にあるの に、特定の債権者に対してだけ偏った弁済をする等の偏頗行 為が進行してしまい、弁済の対象となるべき財産(責任財産) の会社からの流出が起こってしまっているときに、債権者として 採りうる手段の一つとして、破産法上の保全管理命令を紹介 したいと思います。
2 保全管理命令について
Due to its relation to the state of the economy, a bankruptcy lawyer’s practice can be highly cyclical – actually, counter-cyclical. In the last 30 years or so we have seen a number of economic downturns – the bankruptcy boom of the late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s; the dot-com bubble of the late 90’s, and the great recession beginning in the late 2000s. When Covid-19 arrived and much of the economy shut down, most predicted another recession. Bankruptcy practitioners prepared to become very busy.
Third-party, or nondebtor, releases have continued to attract attention from both commentators and legislators in the wake of recent cases such as Purdue Pharma LP, Boy Scouts of America and USA Gymnastics. Most recently, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Representatives Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Carolyn B.
Payment Orders were originally introduced in the CPC as a fast track route for creditors holding a financial instrument, such as a letter of credit or cheque, to obtain judgment against their debtor for what is a simple and indisputable debt. Payment Orders were rarely issued by the onshore UAE courts. In 2018, Cabinet Resolution No 57 of 2018 (the “2018 Cabinet Resolution”) significantly expanded the scope of application of Payment Orders by extending them to all admitted debts rather than simply those arising out of financial instruments only.
