第百六十一条(相当の対価を得てした財産の処分行為の否認)

the act has the actual risk that the bankrupt would conceal, gratuitously convey, or otherwise dispose of the property in a manner prejudicial to bankruptcy creditors (referred to below as "concealing or carrying out other disposal") by realizing real property or otherwise changing the type of property through the disposal;

当該行為が、不動産の金銭への換価その他の当該処分による財産の種類の変更により、破産者において隠匿、無償の供与その他の破産債権者を害することとなる処分(以下「隠匿等の処分」という。)をするおそれを現に生じさせるものであること。

the bankrupt had the intention of concealing or carrying out other disposal of the money or any other property received as consideration for the act at the time of the act; or

the other party had the knowledge that the bankrupt had the intention of concealing or carrying out other disposal referred to in the preceding item at the time of the act.

相手方が、当該行為の当時、破産者が前号の隠匿等の処分をする意思を有していたことを知っていたこと。

For the application of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if the other party to the act is any of the following persons, at the time of the act the other party is presumed to have known that the bankrupt had the intention of concealing or carrying out other disposal referred to in item (ii) of that paragraph:

前項の規定の適用については、当該行為の相手方が次に掲げる者のいずれかであるときは、その相手方は、当該行為の当時、破産者が同項第二号の隠匿等の処分をする意思を有していたことを知っていたものと推定する。
