我国破产法关于破产界限的规定述评

破产界限是破产法中最基本、最关键的核心问题之一。各国破产法关于破产界限的规定有列举主义、概括主义、折衷主义三种立法体例。我国破产法采用概括主义立法体例,符合现代破产法关于破产界限立法体例的主流趋势。我国新破产法规定的破产界限为支付不能并且债务超过或明显缺乏清偿能力,十分严格。这一规定摒弃了我国旧破产法关于破产界限规定的弊端,实现了不同所有制各类企业法人破产界限的统一;既借鉴了西方国家破产界限的立法经验和立法概念,又创造性地突破了传统破产界限的立法规定,体现了鲜明的中国特色,体现了正确的立法价值取向,有利于协调社会公共利益、维护社会稳定,有利于我国和谐社会的构建。
