Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the District Court's procedural handling of a debt payment made during a company's restructuring proceedings. The company paid a creditor during restructuring, but was placed in bankruptcy three months after the restructuring failed. The court held that the payment was validly made and thus became part of the bankruptcy estate, ruling the lower court's inquiry into the opposing party's stance on a non-appealed counterclaim was procedurally correct.

Asiassa, jossa sovinto oli sallittu, hovioikeus oli tiedustellut asianosaisten käsitystä sellaisen vastaseikan merkityksestä, johon vastaaja ei ollut vedonnut valituksessaan tai vastauksessaan. Kysymys hovioikeuden menettelyn oikeellisuudesta.

Yhtiö oli maksanut velkojalle velan, joka oli syntynyt yhtiön saneerausmenettelyn aikana. Yhtiö asetettiin konkurssiin kolmen kuukauden kuluessa saneerausmenettelyn keskeyttämisestä. Kysymys siitä, voitiinko maksu peräyttää konkurssipesään.
