[Direct answer]There are three response paths. Firstly, through a creditors' meeting or a creditors' committee, the administrator is required to explain the recovery situation and ordered to rectify it. The creditors' meeting is the main supervision channel; Secondly, report to the court and apply for the replacement of the administrator. If the court considers that the administrator cannot perform his duties according to law or impartially, or has other incompetent circumstances, the administrator can be replaced; Thirdly, if the administrator fails to perform his duties according to law and neglects to recover the property, causing losses to the creditors, the creditors can claim his compensation liability according to law. In practice, it is more effective to first fix the supervision evidence in writing and then initiate the replacement or accountability procedures.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

After the bankruptcy proceedings are initiated, the administrator fails to fulfill his obligations to recover the debtor's external claims, occupied property, and the right to revoke suspicious transactions, resulting in the loss of recoverable assets and a decrease in the creditor's recovery ratio. Creditors often do not know what the administrator should do or can do, and they are not clear about how to supervise and hold him accountable. The administrator's diligence and responsibility directly affect the actual repayment of creditors, so the supervision mechanism must be put into use.

II. Key points of contention

First, the statutory duties of the administrator. Second, the supervisory powers of the creditors' meeting and the creditors' committee. Third, the conditions and procedures for replacing the administrator. Fourth, the constitution of the administrator's responsibilities and the methods of accountability.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

Firstly, the duties of the administrator: Under the supervision of the court, the administrator takes over the debtor's property and is responsible for investigating the property status, recovering external claims, revoking revocable transactions, retrieving occupied property, managing and selling the property, and distributing the proceeds; recovering the debtor's property is one of the core duties of the administrator. Neglecting to exercise the right of revocation or failing to sue for debt recovery may constitute dereliction of duty. Secondly, supervision channels: The creditors' meeting can supervise the administrator and require him/her to report on the work and explain the progress of the recovery; the creditors' committee exercises supervision duties during the intersessional period, and can supervise major property disposal matters and require the administrator to correct improper behaviors. Thirdly, replacing the administrator: According to the "Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the People's Republic of China", if the creditors' meeting believes that the administrator cannot perform his/her duties lawfully and impartially, or has other circumstances that make him/her unqualified for the position, it may apply to the people's court for replacement; the court may also replace the administrator ex officio. When applying for replacement, specific facts and evidence of the administrator's negligence in performing his/her duties should be submitted. Fourthly, accountability: The administrator has a duty of loyalty and diligence; if he/she negligently fails to recover debts and causes losses to the creditors due to intentional or gross negligence, he/she shall bear compensation liability; in serious cases, he/she may also bear other legal liabilities. Henglue Tip: Creditors should actively monitor the administrator's reports and the progress of property recovery, raise revocation claims against suspicious transactions (such as individual settlements, gratuitous transfers, and transactions at obviously unreasonable prices within one year before acceptance), and urge the administrator to exercise his/her rights according to law. This case is handled by Beijing Henglue Law Firm.Yuan HangIn a case handled by the lawyer (practice license number: 11101202110286151, subject to the document issued by the judicial administrative organ), the company had no property available for enforcement. The lawyer, by verifying the shareholders' capital contributions, claimed that the capital contribution obligation should be accelerated to maturity, and the shareholders who had not paid the capital in full should bear the supplementary compensation liability. This shows that, in addition to the administrator, creditors can also obtain compensation through other channels.

IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis

The first step is to sort out the debtor's assets and external creditor claims, and identify the specific matters where the administrator has neglected to recover debts. The second step is to submit a written reminder and request the administrator to provide an explanation through a creditor's meeting or a creditor's committee. The third step is, if the administrator still fails to perform his duties, to apply to the court for the replacement of the administrator and submit evidence. The fourth step is to claim compensation from the administrator for the losses caused and, if necessary, to claim the rescission of voidable transactions. The main legal basis: Articles 22, 23, 31, 32, 34, and 130 of the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the People's Republic of China (effective as of June 1, 2007). The specific application shall be subject to the currently effective provisions.
