The insolvency proceedings, which are collective debt processing procedures that equitably distribute properties of the debtor who is declared insolvency to multiple creditors, and the arbitral proceedings that resolve disputes over individual legal relationships between the parties differ in nature. However, there are no express provisions that directly regulate the legal relationships when the party to an arbitration agreement is declared insolvency. The presence of an arbitration agreement between the parties does not necessarily initiate the arbitral proceedings, the arbitral proceedings are initiated by the parties' application under the arbitration agreement. It is also necessary to examine the effect of the insolvency of the party to the arbitration agreement on the arbitral proceedings step by step. This paper reviews the cases in which the parties to the arbitration agreement have been declared insolvency before the commencement of the arbitral proceedings and have been declared insolvency during the arbitral proceedings. This paper examines how the effect of the arbitration agreement affects the insolvency proceedings when the debtor is declared insolvency after concluding the arbitration agreement and how the declaration of insolvency affects the arbitral proceedings when the debtor, who is a party to the arbitration agreement, is declared insolvency during the arbitration proceedings.
