Vanugovorna odgovornost stečajnog upravnika

Abstract

Posebna pravila o vanugovornoj odgovornosti stečajnog upravnika nisu sistemski usklađena, pružaju slabiju zaštitu oštećeniku od one koju pružaju kako opšti režim odgovornosti za profesionalnu krivicu tako i posebna pravila koja važe u uporedivim situacijama, a stečajnog upravnika kao štetnika stavljaju u povoljniji položaj nego druge štetnike uporedivog pravnog statusa. Autor predlaže izmenu postojećih pravila tako da stečajni upravnik bude odgovoran za sopstvenu oborivo pretpostavljenu profesionalnu nepažnju te da ostane u zakonskoj obavezi da se osigura od profesionalne odgovornosti. Jedan režim profesionalne odgovornosti trebalo bi da se primenjuje bez obzira na to da li je stečajni upravnik pričinio štetu učesniku stečajnog postupka ili nekom trećem licu.

The special rules on extra-contractual liability of insolvency administrators are not well incorporated into the system of tort liability in Serbia. They provide weak protection to participant in insolvency proceedings as a potential injured party, and also, they put insolvency administrator as a potential tortfeasor in a privileged position in comparison to others who cause damage while acting in a professional capacity. The author proposes amendments to the existing rules, in the sense that there should be a single regime of extra-contractual liability of insolvency administrators, regardless of whether the injured party is a participant in the insolvency proceedings or not. Furthermore, the extra-contractual liability of insolvency administrators should not be restricted to liability for intention or gross negligence, i.e. the insolvency administrators should be liable for ordinary professional negligence as well. In addition, their ordinary negligence should be rebuttably presumed. Finally, the insolvency administrators should remain obliged by law to purchase professional liability insurance.
