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：
- 在深圳经济特区居住；
- 连续三年缴纳社会保险费；及
- 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。

Since our last update in October 2019, there have been many interesting developments in the area of environmental law. The COVID-19 pandemic, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, and climate change were key topics that shaped judicial, legislative, and policy changes in British Columbia and across Canada. With respect to judicial developments, disputes over natural resource projects, contaminated sites, environmental prosecutions, as well as judicial review or appeal decisions arising from environmental regulatory bodies, brought many changes to the landscape of environmental law.
