Competence of Courts in Extra-Judicial Bankruptcy of a Citizen

 Extra-judicial bankruptcy of a citizen as an institution of bankruptcy of individuals is new to our legislation. Despite the fact that extra-judicial bankruptcy of a citizen is carried out outside the framework of the civil process, this does not exclude the participation of courts in the consideration of a number of controversial issues of law, which in turn presupposes the establishment of a competent court authorized to resolve them.

The article discusses the issues of the jurisdiction of disputes in the case of the return of a citizen’s application by a multifunctional center for the provision of state and municipal services, with a moratorium on creditors’ claims, and when challenging the debtor’s transactions. The author of the article makes proposals aimed at improving the legislation, taking into account the established judicial practice in cases of extra-judicial bankruptcy of a citizen.
