Article 53Executory Contracts

第五十三条(双務契約)

If both the bankrupt and the other party under an executory contract have not yet completely performed their obligations by the time of the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, a bankruptcy trustee may cancel the contract or may perform the bankrupt's obligation and request the other party to perform their obligation.

双務契約について破産者及びその相手方が破産手続開始の時において共にまだその履行を完了していないときは、破産管財人は、契約の解除をし、又は破産者の債務を履行して相手方の債務の履行を請求することができる。

In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, the counterparty may specify a reasonable period and make a demand on the bankruptcy trustee that the trustee should give a definite answer within that period with regard to whether they will cancel the contract or request performance of the obligation. In this case, if the bankruptcy trustee fails to give a definite answer within that period, it is deemed that the trustee has cancelled the contract.

前項の場合には、相手方は、破産管財人に対し、相当の期間を定め、その期間内に契約の解除をするか、又は債務の履行を請求するかを確答すべき旨を催告することができる。この場合において、破産管財人がその期間内に確答をしないときは、契約の解除をしたものとみなす。

The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis if the counterparty or a bankruptcy trustee may give a notice of termination pursuant to the provisions of the first sentence of Article 631 of the Civil Code or cancel the contract pursuant to the first sentence of Article 642, paragraph (1) of that Code.

前項の規定は、相手方又は破産管財人が民法第六百三十一条前段の規定により解約の申入れをすることができる場合又は同法第六百四十二条第一項前段の規定により契約の解除をすることができる場合について準用する。
