Composition in bankruptcy 破產和解

1. Composition Before bankruptcy-破產前和解

When the court ordered receivership, if the debtor wishes to apply for compounding before bankruptcy, the law requires the debtor to submit an application to the Receiver within 7 days from the date of submission of the clarification on business and property under Section 30, and may ask the protector to schedule a new time. When the creditors have passed a special resolution accepting the debtor’s proposal for a composition of debts, the debtor or the Receiver is entitled to apply to the Court for an order approving or disapproving it (Section 49). The composition in satisfaction of debts accepted by the meeting of creditors and approved by the Court binds all creditors with regard to the debts for which applications for repayment thereof are permissible but does not bind any creditor with regard to the debts from which the debtor may not, in accordance with this Act, be discharged by an order of discharge from bankruptcy, unless such creditor has consented to the composition in satisfaction of debts (Section 56).

法院下達破產命令時,如債務人希望在破產前申請和解,本法要求債務人根據第30條提交營業和財產澄清之日7天內向破產管理人提出申請,要求管理人安排新的時間。當債權人通過一項特別決議,接受債務人提出的債務和解建議,債務人或官方接管人有權向法院申請同意該和解的命令 (第49條)。滿足債權人會議並經法院批准的債務和解對允許應償還的債務具有約束力,對所有債權人具有約束力,但根據本法對債務人可能不承擔的債務不具有任何債權人的約束力,可以通過破產解除令解除,除非債權人同意債務返還 (第56條)。


2. Composition After bankruptcy-破產後和解

If the debtor’s previous proposal for a composition in satisfaction of debts failed to achieve a successful result, the debtor shall not propose a composition in satisfaction of debts within the period of three months as from the date on which the last composition in satisfaction of debts failed to achieve a successful result.

If the Court approves the composition in satisfaction of debts, the Court has the power to issue an order cancelling the bankruptcy and restoring the debtor’s power to manage his property or may issue any other order as it deems appropriate (Section 63).

如債務人先前提出的償債和解計畫未能取得共識,債務人不得在自該日起三個月內再次提出和解計畫。

如法院核准債務和解,法院有權發布命令或其他適當的命令解除破產並恢復債務人管理財產的權力(第63條)。


How to obtain debt repayment in a bankruptcy case 如何在破產案件取得返還債務

A creditor intending to have repayment of debt in a bankruptcy action, whether the plaintiff creditor or not, must submit an application therefor to the Receiver within two months as from the date of the publication of the absolute receivership order. But, if the creditor is outside the Kingdom, the Receiver may grant an extension of time for a period not exceeding two months (Sections 91).

打算通過破產行收到還款的債權人,無論是否為原告債權人,都必須在發布絕對破產令起兩個月內向破產管理人提出申請。但如果債權人不在泰國境內,破產管理人可以將時間延長不超過兩個月(第91條)。


Property for Repayment of Debt 償還債務的財產

The following property shall be deemed the property, in a bankruptcy action, distributable amongst creditors under Section 109:

根據破產法,下列財產應視為根據第109條可分配給債權人的財產:

1. All the property which the debtor has at the time of commencement of the bankruptcy, including claims exercisable over other persons’ property, except:

債務人在破產時擁有的所有財產,包括對他人財產可行使的債權,但以下情況除外:

1.1 Personal usage and necessary for living for the debtor, the debtor's spouse and minor children with reasonable conditions in life.

依狀況為債務人、債務人的配偶和未成年子女日常生活所需。

1.2 Animals, plants, tools and items for the debtor's occupation. The total price is not more than one hundred thousand baht.

用於債務人的動植物及工作所需工具和物品,總價不超過十萬泰銖。

2. Property which the debtor acquired after the start of bankruptcy up to the time of discharge from bankruptcy. It refers to the assets acquired after the court's receivership order until the bankruptcy case is over.

債務人自破產開始至破產解除時所獲得的財產。指在法院破產管理之後直至破產程序結束之前獲得的資產。

3. Possession or authority or order the disposal of debtors in the trade or the debtor's business with the consent of the true owner by circumstances, that show that the debtor is the owner at the time the debtor is asked to bankrupt.

在某些情況經真正所有人同意,擁有、授權或命令處置貿易或債務人業務的債務人,表明要求債務人破產時,債務人為所有人。


Cancellation of bankruptcy 解除破產

Cancellation from bankruptcy is cancellation of an existing bankruptcy away from the debtor or the bankrupt. As a result, the debtor is no longer required to be a bankrupt. Discharging from bankruptcy is one way to end the bankruptcy case. There are 2 cases of discharge from bankruptcy:

解除破產是指將現有的破產從債務人或破產人中移轉,導致債務人不再需被聲請破產。解除破產是結束破產程序的一種方法,有2個方法:

1. The Court shall issue an order of discharge under Section 71.

法院應根據第71條的法院命令發布解除令。

2. A natural person adjudged bankrupt shall forthwith be discharged from bankruptcy upon the lapse of the three-year period as from the date of the adjudication of bankruptcy under Section 81/1.

依第81/1條規定,當破產裁定日起3年期限屆滿,被判定破產的自然人應立即解除破產。


Consequences of cancellation bankruptcy 解除破產的結果

The order of discharge from bankruptcy has the effect of discharging the bankrupt from all debts of which applications for repayment are permissible, except:

解除破產的命令具有解除允許申請還款的所有債務,但以下情況除外:

1. Debts in relation to taxes, duties or goods taxes levied by the Government or a municipality.

與政府或地方自治體徵收的稅、關稅、或商品稅有關的債務。

2. Debt arising from dishonesty or fraud of the bankrupt or debts for which the creditors’ failure to make a claim is attributable to dishonesty or fraud in which the bankrupt has involvement or conspiracy (according to Section 77).

破產人欺詐引起的債務或債權人未提出債權是由於破產人不誠實或欺詐行為或陰謀(第77條)。

3. However, the court's order of discharge from bankruptcy has no effect of discharging from liability persons who are the bankrupt’s partners or bear joint liability together with the bankrupt or stand surety for or are in the same position as the surety for the bankrupt as well (according to Section 78).

但是,法院的破產解除令並不解除與破產人為合夥人或負連帶責任人與破產人的關係,或者對破產人具有擔保人地位或與破產人處於同一地位 (第78條)。
