裁判所は、次の各号に掲げる者のいずれかの申立てがあった場合には、債権者集会を招集しなければならない。ただし、知れている破産債権者の数その他の事情を考慮して債権者集会を招集することを相当でないと認めるときは、この限りでない。
the creditors' committee prescribed in Article 144, paragraph (2); or
a bankruptcy creditor that holds a bankruptcy claim that accounts for one-tenth or more of the amount of total claims held by known bankruptcy creditors as estimated by the court.
The court may convoke a creditors' meeting when the court finds it appropriate even when the petition stated in the main clause of the preceding paragraph is not filed.
裁判所は、前項本文の申立てがない場合であっても、相当と認めるときは、債権者集会を招集することができる。
