Article 20Method of Filing a Petition to Commence Bankruptcy Proceedings

第二十条(破産手続開始の申立ての方式)

A petition to commence bankruptcy proceedings must be filed by means of a document stating the particulars specified by the Rules of the Supreme Court.

破産手続開始の申立ては、最高裁判所規則で定める事項を記載した書面でしなければならない。

If a person other than a creditor files a petition to commence bankruptcy proceedings, the person must submit to the court a list of creditors stating the particulars specified by the Rules of the Supreme Court; provided, however, that if it is impossible to submit a list of creditors at the same time as filing the petition, it is sufficient for the person to submit the list without delay after filing the petition.

債権者以外の者が破産手続開始の申立てをするときは、最高裁判所規則で定める事項を記載した債権者一覧表を裁判所に提出しなければならない。ただし、当該申立てと同時に債権者一覧表を提出することができないときは、当該申立ての後遅滞なくこれを提出すれば足りる。
