Pravna analiza poslednjih izmena Zakona o stečaju - korak napred, dva koraka unazad

Abstract

Krajem 2018. godine usvojene su četvrte izmene Zakona o stečaju. Sadržinski one se vezuju za pet stečajnopravnih tema: 1) mogućnost ostvarivanja direktne komunikacije između poverilaca i stečajnog upravnika; 2) pravo poverioca predlagača da predloži stečajnog upravnika; 3) davanje većih ovlašćenja skupštini poverilaca u postupku kontrole imenovanog stečajnog upravnika; 4) preciziranje kriterijuma za određivanje visine predujma troškova; i 5) proširenje kruga aktivno legitimisanih lica za podnošenje plana reorganizacije. U ovom radu autor kritički analizira sve ove promene i zaključuje da su novouvedene odredbe, najvećim delom, nejasne, neprecizne i nedorečene, te da u praksi mogu stvoriti pravnu neizvesnost. Kako bi se ovo zaobišlo, autor je predložio na koji način treba pravilno tumačiti sporna pitanja.

At the end of 2018 fourth amendments to the Law on bankruptcy have been adopted. Looking at the content of these changes, they can be classified into five bankruptcy law issues: 1) the possibility to establish direct line of communication between creditors and bankruptcy trustee; 2) the right of the creditor who initiated the bankruptcy proceeding to nominate bankruptcy trustee; 3) authority of the general meeting of creditors in connection with the process of supervising the elected bankruptcy trustee; 4) determination of the maximum level of advance payment of bankruptcy costs; and 5) right to propose the reorganization plan. In this paper the author has critically analyzed all these changes and concluded that these norms are mostly unclear, imprecise and understated, which means that in the practice they can lead to legal uncertainty. In order to avoid misunderstandings, the author has suggested how these norms are supposed to be interpreted.
