On 31 October 2023, Federal Law No. 51 of 2023 Promulgating the Financial and Bankruptcy Law (the Bankruptcy Law) was published in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Official Gazette, repealing the prior federal law on bankruptcy (Federal Law No. 9 of 2016, the Prior Law) and significantly developing the bankruptcy regime in the UAE.
The Australian Government has introduced new laws which are intended to avoid unnecessary corporate insolvencies in light of the challenges presented by the unfolding COVID-19 global pandemic. The new laws came into effect on 25 March 2020 and include:
Proposed exceptions to the stay on enforcing ipso facto clauses now published; public consultation open
The reform
From 1 July 2018, the moratorium on reliance by solvent counterparties on “ipso facto” clauses in voluntary administration, certain receiverships and creditors schemes of arrangement will come into effect (unless it is proclaimed to commence earlier, which is not presently expected).
