    2021-12-14

    1.はじめに

    保険契約は、何十年間、場合によっては終身期間の契約と なっているものもあります。保険事業者(保険会社を含みます。 以下同様です。)は、契約者保護の観点から、法令により、財 務の健全性を保つことが義務付けられていますが、それでも なお、長期の契約期間中に経済が大きく変動し、経営状態の 良かった保険事業者でも倒産する可能性があります。

    1990年代から2000年代にかけて、保険会社の倒産事例が いくつか発生した後は、日本において保険事業者が倒産する ことはしばらくありませんでしたが、2020年に東京地方裁判所 で保険事業者の民事再生の事案が発生しており、今後も保険 事業者の倒産事案が発生する可能性があります。

    Non-party liability for litigation costs in flux - insolvency practices the latest in the firing line
    2019-12-05

    The last few decades have seen a steady increase in ‘non-party costs orders’. These are court orders against non-participating people or entities requiring them to pay (either fully or partially) the costs of litigation in which they are not formally involved as parties. This year has proven to be one of flux for such liabilities.
