Contracts and clauses negotiated by the parties with the objective purpose of depriving the debtor of assets upon insolvency contravene the collective, mandatory nature of insolvency procedures and, consequently, the anti-deprivation principle. This article provides a theoretical conceptualisation of the normative meaning of the anti-deprivation principle by marking its separation from the principle of freedom of contract. If willingly and consistently applied by courts, this conceptualisation could provide enhanced predictability regarding the use of the anti-deprivation principle in insolvency cases.

反剥夺原则相对于合同自由的规范和法律意义

当事人以在破产时剥夺债务人资产为客观目的而谈判的合同和条款违反了破产程序的集体强制性性质，因此也违反了反剥夺原则。本文通过标明反剥夺原则与合同自由原则的分离，对反剥夺原则的规范意义进行了理论概念化。如果法院愿意并始终如一地应用，这种概念化可以提高关于在破产案件中使用反剥夺原则的可预测性。
