Within the realm of bankruptcy proceedings, the issue of requiring the petitioner to submit an additional deposit of interim bankruptcy costs arises as a crucial financial consideration. Understanding the circumstances under which a court may demand such a deposit is essential, as it directly impacts the financial obligations of the petitioner and the overall progress of the bankruptcy case. This inquiry delves into the heart of the matter, shedding light on the criteria and conditions that prompt a court to seek an additional deposit. Simultaneously, it explores the intricacies of financial responsibilities in bankruptcy proceedings, ensuring transparency and fairness within the legal system.
Question:
If the Court finds that the petitioner’s provisional advance for bankruptcy costs is insufficient after initiating bankruptcy proceedings, will they demand additional payment?
Answer:
“The provisional advance for bankruptcy costs is the sum of money decided by the People’s Court for publication, advance payment of costs for the Liquidator, management and liquidation of assets” (Article 4, Clause 14 of the Law on Bankruptcy ).
” The requesters must pay the bankruptcy advance except the requesters mentioned in Clause 2 Article 5 and Point a Clause 1 Article 105 of this Law.” (Clause 2, Article 23 of the Law on Bankruptcy ).
Therefore, the payment of the provisional advance for bankruptcy costs is a mandatory obligation of the petitioner requesting the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings when they submit a petition, and the amount of the provisional advance determined by the Court is only an initial estimate to provide a basis for the petitioner’s request (Article 38, Clause 1 of the Law on Bankruptcy ) based on the regulations stipulated in Article 21 of Decree No. 22/2015/NĐ-CP dated February 16, 2015 of the Government on the costs for the Liquidator, management and liquidation of assets.”
Conclusion
In conclusion, the circumstances under which a court can require the petitioner to submit an additional deposit of interim bankruptcy costs are a significant aspect of bankruptcy proceedings. Various factors influence these circumstances, such as the case’s progress and the petitioner’s financial capacity. Ensuring a fair and just assessment of when to request such a deposit is essential. Furthermore, it helps maintain transparency and equity within the bankruptcy process, ensuring that financial obligations are met as the case unfolds. Additionally, this topic underscores the complexities of financial considerations in bankruptcy proceedings and highlights the need to establish clear criteria to make informed decisions regarding additional deposits.
