    Educational lesson - Hong Kong court stays just and equitable winding-up petition to arbitration
    2022-05-03

    A Hong Kong court has stayed a petition presented on the just and equitable ground to arbitration, on the basis of arbitration agreements found within what the petitioner described as quasi-partnership agreements formed in 2007. The court also dismissed claims that the appointed arbitrator lacked the requisite qualifications and experience, and that a stay would lead to further costs and duplication of resources.

    Mediators: Reject A Binary Equation — “Either This Or That” (In re City of Detroit)
    2022-04-25

    Here’s an important rule for mediators:

    • When the parties try to present you with a binary equation—“either this or that”—reject it; instead
    • Get the parties involved in the process with you—try to help think your way out of the binary box they are trying to put you in.

    –From Judge Gerald E. Rosen [fn. 1] in a May 2021 interview on mediation in the City of Detroit bankruptcy [fn. 2].

    And here’s an illustration of how Judge Rosen faced a binary equation of huge proportions in the City of Detroit bankruptcy—from that interview.

    2022-04-06

    Two years into the pandemic, policymakers struggle to strike a balance between mitigating the ongoing human costs of the crisis and exacerbating the financial strain caused by economic support measures. The 2022 World Development Report (Report) considers the central role that finance will play in enabling countries to recover economically from the pandemic, which in 2020 caused the global economy to shrink by approximately 3% and led to the largest singleyear surge in global debt in decades.

    El reconocimiento de un derecho de separación por el atesoramiento abusivo de beneficios supone un mecanismo de protección de la minoría. Su ejercicio, sin embargo, puede resultar perjudicial para la sociedad, que tendrá que abonar al socio saliente el valor de su participación. Por este motivo, siempre se ha planteado la posibilidad de enervar, de algún modo, el ejercicio del derecho. La Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 25 de enero se ocupa de un caso de esta naturaleza reconociendo, en un supuesto muy concreto, el carácter abusivo del ejercicio del derecho de separación.
