Abstract

The commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by itself does not terminate contractual obligations. At the same time, the bankruptcy legislation does not contain provisions regarding the settlement of the contracts previously concluded by the debtor, excepting granting the arbitration manager the right to refuse the debtor's transactions in the procedures of external management and bankruptcy proceedings.

The purpose of the study is to determine the permissible actions of the parties to the contract after the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. The objectives are: to study the limits of rules of civil obligations in case of the insolvency, to assess the sufficiency of legal means for the settlement the issue of the fate of contracts concluded before the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings.

The study was conducted on the basis of the author's personal empirical experience and the study of judicial practice. The author uses methods of system analysis, teleological interpretation to assess the effectiveness of available legal means, as well as a comparative legal method for comparing the legislation of the Russia, USA and Germany on the issues under study.

Based on the results of the consideration of the features of the disposal of contractual obligations in the conditions of insolvency in the forms of contract execution, refusal to perform one of the parties, the exercise of rights and (or) obligations under the contract as part of the debtor's property complex, the author comes to conclusions about the need for the parties to the contract to actively use the dispute resolution procedure in bankruptcy and the use of the practice of foreign law and order on individual questions.
