Summary
(La Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea de 20 de septiembre del 2017)
El Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea establece las condiciones para no considerar ayuda de Estado la decisión de una autoridad pública cuando se comporta como lo haría un acreedor privado en una economía de mercado al aceptar una quita en un procedimiento de convenio de acreedores...
1. El supuesto de hecho
It may now be easier for Australian insolvency practitioners to carry out investigations and recover assets located in Hong Kong and in mainland China. On 8 February 2018, and for the first time, the High Court of Hong Kong granted an application for recognition and assistance in that jurisdiction for voluntary liquidators of an entity incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.
The High Court will consider the validity of “holding” deed of company arrangements (commonly known as “holding DOCAs”) under the Part 5.3A of the Corporations Act (theAct).
Un reciente pronunciamiento del orden contencioso-administrativo resulta sumamente útil en una controversia que parece irresoluble. La sentencia se pronuncia sobre un supuesto fáctico que precisa aplicar la Ley Concursal en su redacción anterior a la reforma del 2014.

1. Section 90K(1)(aa) of theFamily Law Act1975 (Cth) provides that a court may set aside a financial agreement if the court is satisfied that a party to the agreement entered into the agreement for purposes including the purpose of defrauding or defeating creditors, or with reckless disregard to the interests of the creditors.
In certain circumstances, liquidators may be at risk of personal exposure to costs orders in litigation.
The court’s approach to the making of costs orders against liquidators depends on (amongst other things) whether the liquidator is a named party to the proceedings, whether the liquidator is commencing or defending proceedings, and whether the liquidator has acted ‘improperly’ or unreasonably in the commencement, maintenance or defence of the action.
Proceedings commenced by the liquidator / company in liquidation
On 19 October 2017, the Bankruptcy Amendment (Enterprise Incentives) Bill 2017 was introduced into Parliament by the Commonwealth Government in order to reduce the default period of bankruptcy from three years down to just one year. The stated objective of the Bill is “to foster entrepreneurial behaviour and reduce the stigma associated with bankruptcy whilst maintaining the integrity of the regulatory and enforcement frameworks for the personal insolvency regime.”
