- Abstract (Swedish)
- En konkurs syftar till att fördela gäldenärens tillgångar till borgenärerna. Detta sker utefter fordringarnas storlek och prioritet. I varje konkurs utses en förvaltare som har i uppdrag att avveckla tillgångarna och fördela medlen till borgenärerna. I vissa fall kan detta innebära att gäldenärens verksamhet drivs vidare för att utdelningen till borgenärerna ska bli större.
Under 2019 och 2020 fördes i Svensk juristtidning en debatt om förvaltarens uppdrag. Frågan är om uppdraget utöver att maximera tillgångarna i boet även ska anses omfatta att nedbringa eller förhindra konkursfordringar. Detta kan till exempel handla om att vårda tredje mans egendom för att förhindra att ett skadeståndsanspråk mot gäldenären uppstår. Om...

Under 2019 och 2020 fördes i Svensk juristtidning en debatt om förvaltarens uppdrag. Frågan är om uppdraget utöver att maximera tillgångarna i boet även ska anses omfatta att nedbringa eller förhindra konkursfordringar. Detta kan till exempel handla om att vårda tredje mans egendom för att förhindra att ett skadeståndsanspråk mot gäldenären uppstår. Om konkursfordringarna ökar minskar nämligen den andel av fordringarna som blir betalda i konkursen. Samtidigt innebär alla åtgärder ökade konkurskostnader vilka ska betalas ur konkursboets tillgångar och därmed minskar den totala utdelningen i konkursen.
Vilka åtgärder som påverkar konkursfordringarna kan delas upp i tre scenarion: bestridande av konkursfordringar, vidaredrift som påverkar konkursfordringar och hantering av tredje mans egendom.
Eftersom det saknas tillräcklig praxis och stöd i övrigt material anläggs i uppsatsen en metod som utgår från två olika modeller för att lösa konkursrättsliga problem. Den första modellen används för att jämföra materiella och processuella behörigheter, inom konkursrätten. Den andra modellen utgår från konkursboet som en association i likvidation med borgenärerna som medlemmar.
Dessa modeller används sedan för att fylla i de områden där det saknas praxis eller uttalanden i doktrin, utifrån uttalanden som gjorts i närliggande frågor. Slutsatsen är att förvaltarens uppdrag omfattar åtgärder som nedbringar eller förhindrar konkursfordringar, så länge kostnaderna därför är lägre än storleken på minskningen eller storleken på den fordran som förhindras. Detta gäller för både vidaredrift och hantering av tredje mans egendom. (Less) - Abstract
- The aim of the bankruptcy process is to distribute the debtor’s assets to the creditors, with regard to the size and priority of the debts. In every bankruptcy, an administrator is appointed, who’s assignment is to liquidate the assets and distribute them between the creditors. In some cases, this can include running the debtor’s business for a while, and thus creating greater value for the creditors.
During 2019 and 2020, a debate was conducted in Svensk juristtidning regarding the extent of the administrator’s assignment. The question at hand is if, beyond maximizing the profits form the assets, the administrator’s assignment also includes bringing down or prevent any debts that are included in the bankruptcy proceeding.

In every bankruptcy, an administrator is appointed, who’s assignment is to liquidate the assets and distribute them between the creditors. In some cases, this can include running the debtor’s business for a while, and thus creating greater value for the creditors.
During 2019 and 2020, a debate was conducted in Svensk juristtidning regarding the extent of the administrator’s assignment. The question at hand is if, beyond maximizing the profits form the assets, the administrator’s assignment also includes bringing down or prevent any debts that are included in the bankruptcy proceeding. An example of such a situation is handling the property belonging to a third person, to prevent damages that could risk being allowed to be considered in the bankruptcy proceeding. If the debts increase, the share of debts that get payment in the bankruptcy decreases. At the same time, any action the administrator takes decreases the amount that is paid to the creditors, since the cost of the administrator is paid before the debts in the bankruptcy.
The types of actions that affect the debts in the bankruptcy are divided into three scenarios: objection against a debt, continued operation of the debtor’s business and handling a third person’s assets.
Since the sources discussing the matter are scarce, this thesis uses two dissertations that provides models for solving legal issues in the bankruptcy field. The first model is used to compare formal and procedural competences. The second model classifies the bankruptcy estate as a corporate entity in winding up with the creditors as members.
These two models are used to fill the areas where other source material is missing, with the available sources used as a starting point. The conclusion is that the administrator’s assignment includes actions aimed at bringing down or preventing debts in the bankruptcy, as long as the costs therefore are lower than the decrease in the debts. This applies to both continued operations of the debtor’s business and handling assets belonging to a third person. (Less)
