问题四/Q4我们是否应当继续向进入破产程序的债务人供应货物和提供服务?
Should we continue to supply goods and services to the debtor while it is in bankruptcy?
第11章要求债务人在破产程序进行期间继续履行其合同义务。债权人向债务人在破产案件进程中继续供货的,享有主张优先受偿的权利,在破产法中被称为“行政费用”优先权。在大多数情况下,即使在破产程序中,“行政费用”仍会按正常流程以现金支付。“行政费用”未能以正常流程获得偿付的,在破产重组计划的施行过程中也会得到全额偿付,这是第11章破产重组计划的确认要求之一。
A Chapter 11 debtor is required to continue performing contract obligations during its bankruptcy case. Claims on ac of goods supplied during a bankruptcy case are entitled to administrative expense priority and will, inmost instances, be paid in cash in the ordinary course notwithstanding the bankruptcy filing. To the extent such claims are not paid in the ordinary course, they must be paid in full in connection with a plan in order to satisfy Chapter 11 plan confirmation requirements.
在一些第11章破产重组未能成功,且债务人没有足够资金偿付所有行政费用的案件中,即使是行政费用也可能得不到全额偿付。因此,当您在破产案期间继续向债务人供应货物和提供服务时,有必要让一名美国破产法律师审慎跟进破产案件进程。
In some instances the Chapter 11 case does not successfully reorganize and the debtor does not have sufficient funds to pay all administrative claims, even holders of administrative claims may not be paid in full. Accordingly, as you continue to supply goods and services to the debtor during its bankruptcy case, it is worthwhile to have a U.S. bankruptcy attorney carefully monitor the bankruptcy case as it progresses.
