    破産申立代理人の財産散逸防止義務について
    2021-08-10

    1 はじめに

    破産手続開始申立の多くは、弁護士を代理人としてなされま す。債務者からの依頼を受けて破産手続開始申立の代理人 になる弁護士は、委任契約上、その事務処理につき、委任契 約上求められるレベルをもって履行し、依頼者の利益を実現 する義務を負います。それに加えて、破産手続が、債権者その 他の利害関係人の利害や、債務者と債権者との間の権利関 係を図ることを目的とする手続である(破産法1条)ことから、破 産申立代理人になる弁護士は、依頼者である債務者以外に も多数の債権者や利害関係人の権利関係を適切に調整し、 債務者の財産を適正に処理するという役割を担っており、破 産目的の実現に資するように行動するという公的な責務も同 時に負います(伊藤眞他『条解破産法[第3版]』159頁(弘文 堂、令和2年))。

    連載コラム:コロナ禍での倒産案件の動向①―民事再生編-
    2021-08-10

    1 はじめに 

    新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大が本格化した2020年4月頃 は、メディアなどで、2020年は企業の倒産件数が大幅に増加 するのではないか、という予測が少なからず見受けられました。 もっとも、実際には、企業の倒産、特に民事再生は大きく減少 しました。2020年の倒産動向については民間信用情報機関 等で発表1 されていますが、法的倒産案件の具体的な件数に 触れたものはあまりみかけないように思いますので、何回かに 分けて紹介したく考えています。今回は民事再生編です。

    民事再生には、①主に企業の事業再生に活用される「通常 再生」、及び②個人のみが利用可能な「個人再生」の2種類が あります。この2つの手続のこれまでの利用状況は以下のとお りです2 。
