Insurance court dismisses claim that post-bankruptcy termination pay premiums are not bankruptcy estate debt.

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's request to exclude certain pension insurance premiums from the bankruptcy estate. The employee's employment relationship continued uninterrupted until the end of the notice period despite the company's bankruptcy, and premiums for accrued termination pay became due after the bankruptcy commenced. The court ruled that these premiums constitute a mass debt of the bankruptcy estate, thereby rejecting the argument for their exclusion.
