THE FEDERATION COUNCIL IS DISCUSSING THE RIGHT OF AN ARBITRATION MANAGER TO INTERVIEW BANKRUPT MANAGERS

Ilya Shevchenko, a judge of the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, proposed to give arbitration managers (AU) the opportunity to interview the heads of debtors or their deputies about the reasons for the insolvency of companies. Shevchenko announced the need to make appropriate amendments to the Bankruptcy Law during a round table on a relevant topic in the Federation Council.

Ilya Shevchenko stressed that today there is an administrative responsibility for obstructing the actions of the Arbitration Manager. He added that if suddenly there is a refusal to cooperate with the manager, it is necessary to summon citizens to court without fail. According to the judge, forced delivery to the meeting should be considered, among other things.

Artem Sheikin, a member of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Construction, in turn, said that all the initiatives announced during the round table would be sent to the relevant ministries and departments. According to him, last year the number of Russians and sole proprietors who were declared insolvent and went into receivership reached a record high over the past 8 years - 350.7 thousand cases.
