"Articles 244 and 245 of Taiwan Civil Code stipulate the revocation proceedings for fraudulent actions to protect the rights of creditors. However, two articles shall not be interpreted as unduly interfering with the debtors’ rights to dispose of their properties and with the regular course of business transactions. Lawsuits of revocation for fraudulent actions are common. The simple provisions of Article 244 were not able to cope with the complexity of increasing lawsuits. The 2000 amendment adding sections 3 and 4 to Article 244 addressed some legal issues; but a number of controversies remain, including the followings: 1. the distinction between gratuitous and non-gratuitous action, 2. the evaluation of the amount of the obligation to a creditor and the extent of revocation, in the case of the property of which disposed by the fraudulent party is inalienable, 3. the procedures of revocation proceedings and enforcement of affirmed judgments, and 4. the difference between the creditors’ exercise of revocation of fraudulent actions and his exercise of legal proceeding in case of fictitious collusion between the debtor and third party. This paper analyzes these matters by studying scholarly works and court judgments, as well as by comparing foreign civil statutes. It is hoping to provide promising suggestions to address legal controversies which remains unsolved." |
