    連載コラム:コロナ禍での倒産案件の動向②―破産編―
    2021-09-15

    8月号に続いて、コロナ禍での法的倒産案件数の動向を紹 介します。今回は破産編です。

    1 破産手続の利用状況

    (1) 2020年

    2020年に裁判所が受け付けた破産事件の数は全国で 78,104件(2019年比2 .6%減)、東京(本庁)で8,807件(2019 年比8 .0%減)となっています。東京の8,807件の内訳は法人 破産1,438件、個人破産7,369件であり、いずれも2019年比で 減少となりました1 。東京地裁(本庁)の2016年から2019年の破 産事件数は年間9,000件台中盤から後半で推移していました ので、2020年の8,807件は大きな減少といえます。減少の要因 としては、コロナ禍による影響緩和のための各種公的給付や 金融機関による資金繰り支援の浸透等が考えられます。

    (2) 2021年1月から8月の動向(速報値)

    3rd Circuit Holds Post-Confirmation, Pre-Effective Date “Claims” Dischargeable in Bankruptcy
    2021-09-15

    On Aug 30, 2021, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals became the first federal appellate court to confirm that claims arising against a debtor following confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan, but prior to the plan’s effective date, are subject to discharge. This ruling serves as a strong reminder for all creditors and counterparties of a bankrupt entity to stay vigilant through the “effective date” of a Chapter 11 plan, and to strictly adhere to any administrative claims bar date established in a bankruptcy case.

    2021-09-16

    The District Court for the Southern District of New York recently issued an important decision that provides further support for a holistic analysis when applying the Bankruptcy Code’s “safe harbors.” In Mark Holliday, the Liquidating Trustee of the BosGen Liquidating Trust v. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, et al., 20 Civ. 5404 (Sept. 13, 2021), the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal of the plaintiff’s state law fraudulent conveyance claims against the defendants as protected from avoidance by the “safe harbors” of Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

    産業競争力強化法改正と事業再生ADR・債権譲渡
    2021-09-14

    1 はじめに

    産業競争力強化法等の一部を改正する法案が2021年6月9 日に可決成立し、同月16日に公布され一部は公布日に、その 他の部分についても8月2日付で施行されました。

    バーチャルオンリー株主総会をはじめとして、多岐にわたる 今回の産業競争力強化法等の改正ですが、本稿では、事業 再生と債権管理に影響のありうる改正点(「債権譲渡の第三 者対抗要件の特例」及び「事業再生の円滑化のための事業 再生ADRに関連する改正」)にフォーカスして説明いたします。 なお、本稿では、ことわりのない限り、改正後の産業競争力強 化法を「法」と略しています。

    2 債権譲渡の第三者対抗要件の特例

    これまで債権譲渡の第三者対抗要件の具備には、①公証 役場での確定日付の取得や内容証明郵便(民法467条、民 法施行法5条1項2号及び6号)、あるいは②債権譲渡特例法 に基づく債権譲渡登記(債権譲渡特例法4条1項、14条1項) のいずれかの方法による必要があり、実務的には①のうちの 内容証明郵便(電子内容証明を含む)の方法が多く用いられ ています。
