Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a result of this study, it became clear that the enforcement of physical security through civil execution procedures has significance in enabling appropriate adjustment of the interests of the debtor and the security interest holder, as well as the interests of the security interest holder and other creditors, etc. On the other hand, it also became clear that in cases where physical security is enforced without civil execution procedures, it is desirable to allow the court to be involved in order to appropriately adjust of these interests. These suggest the possibility of relativizing the distinction between enforcement of physical security by civil execution procedures and enforcement without civil execution procedures in insolvency proceedings.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は、特に、現在準備が進められている動産・債権を目的とする譲渡担保の実行方法に関する法改正との関係で、ありうる方向性のひとつを示すものである。具体的には、動産・債権を目的とする譲渡担保について、債務者と担保権者との間の利害調整や担保権者と他の債権者等との間の利害調整を適切に行うために、民事執行手続による実行を認めるべきことが示されるとともに、民事執行手続によらない実行に関しても、債務者と担保権者との間の利害調整や担保権者と他の債権者等との間の利害調整を適切に行うために、裁判所の関与を認めるべきことが示されたものと考えられる。
