Hanjin Shipping's collapse
In order to protect its assets from creditors following its financial collapse, Hanjin obtained a rehabilitation order in Seoul on 1 September.
Different jurisdictions / approaches
One of the main difficulties arising out of the Hanjin collapse is that whilst those administering Hanjin's rehabilitation may have taken steps internationally to protect its assets, different jurisdictions have different approaches.
Het hof Amsterdam heeft in het voorjaar van 2016 een uitspraak gedaan over het ontstaansmoment van vorderingen van zorgaanbieders op patiënten en/of zorgverzekeraars. Het ontstaansmoment van een vordering is relevant om in geval van een faillissement van de pandgever te kunnen bepalen of een vordering (reeds) bestond – en dus geldig kan zijn verpand – of dat een vordering nog niet bestond – en dus niet geldig kan zijn verpand.
