2019年11月14日,最高院正式发布第九次全国法院民商事审判工作会议的会议纪要——《全国法院民商事审判工作会议纪要》(简称“《九民纪要》”)。

对资产证券化圈的许多机构从业者,《九民纪要》具体有什么样的意义可能不太熟悉。在这里,我们还是借用引言中的一句话来体现它的意义:

对当前民商事审判工作中的一些疑难法律问题取得了基本一致的看法。”

《九民纪要》的条款中,与金融业务有关的就可以说是包罗万象。但在正式看条款和案例之前,不妨先再来品读一下它的引言部分

这些统领性原则,结合一些代表性案例,我们认为,会赋予证券化业务更多的司法支持。具体体现在:

In Part 1, we discussed how, despite widespread usage, termination in the event of bankruptcy clauses (“ipso facto” clauses) are generally unenforceable pursuant to the bankruptcy code. In this second part, we discuss why these clauses are still prevalent in commercial transactions and the exceptions that allow for enforceability in certain situations.

Why Do Ipso Facto Clauses Remain in Most Contracts?

If ipso facto clauses are generally not enforceable, then why do practically all commercial agreements continue to include them? There are several reasons.

Practically all commercial transactions, including licenses, services agreements, and supply agreements, contain a provision that triggers termination rights, without notice, to a party whenever the other party files for bankruptcy or experiences other insolvency-related event. In Part 1 of a two-part series, we discuss how the commonly used termination-on-insolvency clauses are generally unenforceable despite their widespread use.
