According to Article 536 of the Civil Code, when the creditor's claim has not yet matured, the limitation period for the debtor's claim or the subordinate rights related to the creditor's right is about to expire, or the debtor fails to declare the bankruptcy claim in a timely manner, etc., these circumstances will affect the realization of the creditor's claim. In such a case, the creditor may subrogate to the debtor's counterpart to request it to perform to the debtor, report to the bankruptcy administrator, or perform other necessary acts.
This means that the creditor may, on behalf of the debtor, request the counterparty to perform the debt, declare the bankruptcy claim or perform other necessary actions before the creditor's right is due, so as to protect the rights and interests of the creditor. This provision provides a way for creditors to defend their rights and interests in certain circumstances, particularly where the debtor may be unable to meet its obligations or face insolvency.
For example, suppose A is the creditor, B is the debtor, and C is the counterparty related to the claim. If B's claim is about to expire but B fails to perform it in time, and C's statute of limitations is about to expire, which affects the realization of A's claim, then A can subrogate C to perform the debt to protect its rights and interests.
Therefore, Article 536 of the Civil Code provides a legal basis for creditors to protect their rights and interests under certain circumstances.
