Nulidad de un despido colectivo realizado en la sucursal española de una sociedad sometida a un procedimiento de insolvencia alemán
Sentencia de la Sala de lo Social de la Audiencia Nacional de 30 de abril de 2018
Collective layoff voided at Spanish branch of a company subject to German insolvency proceedings
Judgment by the National Appellate Court (Labor Chamber) on April 30, 2018
An insolvency order by a German court on a company does not in itself authorize that company to carry out a collective layoff at its Spanish branch. The German company should have petitioned for a local insolvency proceeding on its Spanish branch to obtain authorization from the judge hearing the Spanish insolvency proceeding to conduct the collective layoff at its branch.

In yet another of the many cases against Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) trustees for their alleged responsibility for losses suffered by investors, Judge Jesse Furman of the Southern District of New York precluded inquiry into the conduct of the trustee where a bankruptcy plan intervened. The plaintiffs were caught in a bind. Alleging misfeasance by the trustee prior to the commencement of the bankruptcy case would have been barred by the statute of limitations. Allegations of misfeasance subsequent to the commencement of the case were swept away by confirmation of the plan.
The bankruptcy of Energy Future Holdings has spawned numerous decisions in the various segments of its Chapter 11 case. Yet another such decision was handed down by the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in March of this year, in which the court addressed the question of what constitutes collateral, and proceeds of collateral, in a complex Chapter 11 reorganization.
