- Abstract
The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (Covid 19) outbreak has had a serious impact on the Indonesian economy, minus economic growth, the lowest inflation rate in 2020 in Indonesian history, the weakening Rupiah exchange rate, the number of unemployed increases. This kind of condition has a major impact on the company’s financial condition, and companies with debts that are past due are threatened with default. As a result, many debtor companies are filed for bankruptcy by the Commercial Court, and most of the companies that are filed for bankruptcy and Debt Payment Obligation Postponement (PKPU) are threatened bankruptcy because the conditions for imposing bankruptcy PKPU are very easy. The government does not have the right formula to save companies that are threatened with bankruptcy. Studied more deeply, the inability to repay creditors’ debts is not an intentional factor due to force majeure. Therefore, judges who examine and decide on bankruptcy applications and PKPU should consider the financial capability of a debtor company filed for bankruptcy so that companies that are still solvent can continue their business.
