基于实证角度浅析破产程序中单个债权人知情权的保护与限制

An Analysis of the Protection and Limitation of the Right to Know of Single Creditors in Bankruptcy Proceedings from an Empirical Perspective

在破产程序中,保证债权人知情权的依法行使有助于债权人实现监督权和表决权,在破产案件实务中,债权人往往与债务人系竞争关系或同一行业的上下游关系,债务人的商业秘密对于债权人有着特别的价值,知情权滥用将损害破产各相关方的整体利益。在破产清算程序中,由于债务人最终将注销工商登记,单个债权人在不涉及其他第三方主体商业秘密的情况下,可就债务人的商业秘密享有相对广泛的知情权;在破产重整程序中,债务人将继续存续并开展生产经营活动,债务人的商业秘密对诸多主体都有特殊价值,一旦单个债权人滥用其身份造成债务人商业秘密泄漏,将对重整程序各相关方的整体利益造成严重影响,就债务人商业秘密等应谨慎提供查阅。若单个债权人主张侵犯了其知情权,可以向受理法院提出申请作为救济途径,请求法院作出提供查阅的决定。

In bankruptcy proceedings,securing the legal exercise of the right to know of creditors helps secure their supervision and voting rights.In the practice of bankruptcy cases,creditors often have competitive relationships or have upstream or downstream connec-tions in the same industry with the debtor.In this case,The debtor's trade secrets hold particular value for creditors,and the abuse of the right to know can jeopardize the overall interests of all parties involved in the bankruptey.In liquidation proceedings,as the debtor will ultimately cancel the business registration,single creditors should be well-informed about the debtor’s trade secrets,provided that it doesn't involve other third-party trade secrets.In reorganization proceedings,where the debtor continues to exist and conduct business operations,the debtor's trade secrets are valuable to multiple parties.If a single creditor abuses its position and causes the disclosure of the debtor's trade secrets,it can have a severe impact on the overall interests of all parties involved in the reorganization proceedings.Therefore,careful consideration should be given to providing access to the debtor's trade secrets.If a single creditor claims that its right to know has been violated,it can apply to the competent court for relief,requesting the court to make a decision on providing access.
