Article 642Cancellation on Commencement of Bankruptcy Proceeding for Party Ordering Work
第六百四十二条（注文者についての破産手続の開始による解除）
If the party ordering work receives an order commencing bankruptcy proceeding, the contractor or the bankruptcy trustee may cancel the contract; provided, however, that this does not apply to the cancellation of the contract by the contractor after the work is completed.
注文者が破産手続開始の決定を受けたときは、請負人又は破産管財人は、契約の解除をすることができる。ただし、請負人による契約の解除については、仕事を完成した後は、この限りでない。
In the case prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the contractor may participate in the distribution of the bankruptcy estate with respect to the remuneration for the work already completed and expenses not included in this.
前項に規定する場合において、請負人は、既にした仕事の報酬及びその中に含まれていない費用について、破産財団の配当に加入することができる。
In the cases referred to in paragraph (1), claims for compensation for damage suffered as a result of the cancellation of the contract are permitted only for contractors under contracts cancelled by the bankruptcy trustee. In such a case, the contractors participate in the distribution of the bankruptcy estate with respect to that compensation for damage.
第一項の場合には、契約の解除によって生じた損害の賠償は、破産管財人が契約の解除をした場合における請負人に限り、請求することができる。この場合において、請負人は、その損害賠償について、破産財団の配当に加入する。

解除
Ending a contract by one party's notice to the other, where the contract or the law gives that party a right to cancel (Civil Code, Article 540, paragraph (1)). The Civil Code lets a party cancel for the other's failure to perform: after a demand to perform within a reasonable time that is not met, unless what is still missing is minor (Article 541), or at once where performance has become wholly impossible, or the other party has clearly refused to perform, among other cases where performance clearly will not come (Article 542, paragraph (1)). On cancellation each party must put the other back in the position before the contract, and damages can still be claimed (Article 545, paragraphs (1) and (4)); a lease, though, ends only from then on (Article 620). Cancellation differs from rescission (取消し), after which the act is treated as void from the start (Article 121).

damages
損害賠償
Compensation for loss one person has caused another. A debtor who does not perform an obligation as it should be performed, or cannot perform it, must compensate the creditor for the loss that results, unless the failure comes from a cause the debtor is not responsible for, judged by the contract or other source of the obligation and by accepted views in dealings (Civil Code, Article 415, paragraph (1)); and a person who, intentionally or negligently, infringes another's rights or legally protected interests must compensate for the loss that results (Article 709). It is paid in money unless otherwise agreed (Articles 417 and 722, paragraph (1)), and the parties to a contract may agree in advance the amount due if it is not performed; a sum fixed for breach (違約金) is presumed to be such an agreement (Article 420, paragraphs (1) and (3)). The Consumer Contract Act makes void the part of such an amount in a consumer contract, for its cancellation, with any penalty added, above the average loss the business would suffer from the cancellation of consumer contracts of that kind, measured separately for each category the clause sets, such as the reason for and time of cancellation (Consumer Contract Act, Article 9, paragraph (1), item (i)).
