Many jurisdictions offer a process for distressed companies to seek the protection of the Courts from enforcement action while they try to put a restructuring plan in place. England and Wales has the administration regime, and the USA has Chapter 11. Historically, the Cayman Islands has addressed this issue by means of the ‘light touch’ provisional liquidation, by which an insolvency practitioner could be appointed to supervise the company while a restructuring plan was formulated and considered, with a breathing space from creditor actions by way of a court-imposed moratorium.
