中澳破产企业重整制度比较研究

企业重整程序是企业破产中的重要制度,澳大利亚最常用的重整程序是自愿管理制度,在中国,类似的重整制度是企业和解与整顿制度,比较而言,澳大利亚自愿管理程序比中国的和解与整顿程序更简便、低廉、灵活和快捷,因而对中、小型公司特别适用,中国的和解与整顿程序弊端甚多,实际应用不广,中国在修改重整制度时可以借鉴澳大利亚的某些做法。

A Comparative Study on the Reorganization of the Insolvent Corporations in Australia and China

Reorganization is one of the important procedures in insolvency law.Voluntary Administration is the most common method of reorganization in Australia.In China,the similar reorganization processes are the reconciliation and consolidation.By contrast,voluntary administration in Australia is much simper,cheaper,quicker and more flexible than the reconciliation and consolidation in China.The voluntary administration is more suitable for the medium and small corporations.The reconciliation and consolidation in China have many drawbacks,so the processes are not widely used.China can use the experience of Australia for reference when drafting its new reorganization procedures.
