موقف المشرّع الأردني من التفرقة في المعاملة بين المدين التاجر و غير التاجر عند التوقف عن الدفع

Abstract EN

The application of a special system to merchants who stopped paying, namely, the bankruptcy system, has not succeeded in providing adequate protection for commercial credit, as the practical reality has proven that the damage caused by the non-merchant’s failure to pay his debts, which affects the national economy, is no less than the damage caused by the merchant’s cessation of payment.

He paid his business debt more often.

The author of the law changed this trend when enacting the Insolvency Law No.

21 of 2018 AD, and made the economic activity that a person engages in, not his capacity, and this law applies to everyone who engages in an economic activity, whether a merchant or not, unlike the situation under the provisions of bankruptcy in light of The Trade Law (1966 AD), which was applied exclusively to merchants, and thus expanded the umbrella of this law to include - in addition to merchants - some civil groups as long as they were engaged in economic activity.
