The problematic issues of bringing arbitration managers to civil liability for the improper implementation of the economic activities of an insolvent debtor are analyzed. The conclusion is substantiated that the planning of the economic activity of an insolvent debtor during the period of external management and bankruptcy proceedings is carried out by an external or bankruptcy manager. It is established that the bankruptcy trustee is civilly liable for the unreasonable termination of the debtor’s business, or for its long continuation. The point of view is argued that the liability in question has a character similar to that of the ordinary head of a legal entity. Proposals have been made to improve Russian bankruptcy law and the practice of its application.
