    Effect of breach of settlement agreement under Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code
    2022-05-12

    The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“IBC”) being a relatively new legislation, has witnessed inconsistent interpretation of its various provisions, especially in respect of certain legal issues, which are grey areas i.e. the issues which are not specifically dealt with under the existing provisions of IBC. One of such interesting legal issue is effect of breach of settlement agreements, entered into between two parties, where one party promises to pay a certain amount to the other party.

    強制執行(金銭執行)の基礎について
    2022-05-10

    第1 はじめに

    強制執行とは、主に、民事裁判で確定された権利を実現す るため、民事執行法に基づく手続のことです。強制執行といっ ても、債権者が有する権利の内容に応じて、様々な方法が用 意されており、大別すると、金銭の支払を目的とする権利のた めの手続(金銭執行)と、金銭の支払を目的としない権利のた めの手続(非金銭執行)に分けることができます。金銭の支払 を目的とする権利としては、例えば、貸金返還請求権がありま すが、交通事故でケガをしたとして、加害者に治療費などを求 める損害賠償請求権も、これに該当します。他方で、金銭の支 払を目的としない権利としては、例えば、契約に基づき家具の 製造を求める権利などがあり得ます

    企業法務では、一般に、金銭の支払を求める権利の実現 (債権回収)が問題となるため、本稿では、強制執行のうち、金 銭執行に焦点を当てて、簡単な解説をさせていただきます。

    シンガポールの倒産・清算手続 ~外国倒産手続の承認援助手続~
    2022-05-10

    1.はじめに

    シンガポールの倒産・清算手続については、本News Letterの2020年2月号(第20号)にてシンガポールの会社の 清算手続をご紹介しましたが1 、本号では、シンガポールにお ける外国倒産手続の承認援助手続について、ご紹介しま す。

    2.承認援助手続

    ある会社につき日本で倒産手続が開始し、その会社が外 国に財産を有している場合、その外国財産は、日本に所在 する財産と同様に、日本の倒産手続により保全されるでしょう か。

    日本の破産法、民事再生法及び会社更生法上は、破産管 財人、再生債務者及び更生管財人(以下、総称して「管財人 等」といいます。)の財産管理処分権は外国に所在する財産 にも及ぶとされており(普及主義)、外国財産についても債権 者による個別的権利行使は制限されることになります。
