    Adjudication and liquidation - the final word?
    2018-08-03

    It is generally the case (though not always!) that courts are reluctant to enforce monetary award adjudication decisions in favour of companies in liquidation (CILs). This is because of the uncertainty surrounding the CIL’s ability to repay those sums should it later transpire it was not entitled to the award.

    2021-02-03

    对于《最高人民法院关于适用〈中华人民共和国民法典〉有关担保制度的解释》(下称“《民法典担保解释》”或“新规”)对金融资管业务的影响,我们在上篇及中篇中从担保物权受托持有、增信文件性质、上市公司对外担保、担保物权登记、抵押预告登记等角度进行了详细探析。本篇我们将从资产收益权回购交易、仲裁与申请实现担保物权程序、担保与破产衔接角度,着重介绍新规的修订及对金融资管业务的影响。择重点概括如下:

    一、新规明确特定资产或资产收益权转让及回购交易中让与担保规则的处理方法

    近期香港破产判决追踪
    2019-12-17

    近年市场竞争及经营环境不确定性持续增加的情况下,不少企业有可能面临营运及财务困难,导致债务违约的情况有上升的趋势。如果债务人资不抵债,债权人有权利用破产清盘的程序接管债务人的资产并尽量实现回收最大化。根据香港破产管理署公布的统计数字,在2019年1月至10月期间,强制公司清盘案及破产案呈请的数字达到7,062宗。我们藉此介绍近期香港法院就破产清盘颁发的两个重要判决。

    1. 仲裁协议的存在是否会影响破产清盘程序的开展?

    香港上诉法院近期在But Ka Chon v Interactive Brokers LLC [2019] HKCA 873一案中,考虑了债权相关的合同中约定有仲裁条款管辖的情况下,债权人利用法院破产清盘程序的权利会否受限。由于很多的商业协议均载有仲裁条款,法院的判决对债权人的权利及可采取的救济手段有重要意义。

    在该案中,上诉人(证券公司客户,即债务人)与被上诉人(证券公司,即债权人)签订的客户协议约定双方之间的争议以仲裁解决。由于上诉人没有偿还保证金账户的欠款,债权人在香港法院申请上诉人破产。上诉人以双方已经约定仲裁为其中一个理由,请求上诉法院撤销债权人发出的法定偿债书。

    Circumventing pari passu: Hong Kong’s generous enforcement of arbitral awards at the expense of equal ranking
    2015-10-16

    Consider this situation: a dispute has arisen between two parties in relation to an agreement which is subject to an arbitration clause. Separately, a winding up application has been made against one of the parties to the arbitration in the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated. An arbitral award is obtained against the potentially insolvent company. That company has assets in Hong Kong, against which the creditor is now seeking to enforce their rights.

    与PPP项目合同主体问题相关的风险及其防范——以某案例为切入点
    2022-06-01

    本文拟以某案例为切入点,揭示及探讨政府和社会资本合作(Public-Private Partnership,下称PPP)项目中社会资本方因项目合同主体问题而面临的潜在风险及可能的风险防范措施。

    1. 案例情况简述

    项目投资人A公司(外国公司)与B政府签订某项目投资框架协议,约定由A公司设立项目公司C以负责建设、运营某污水处理厂特许经营项目,并在对项目建设时间、技术要求、费用确认机制等关键条件做出约定的同时,明确“详细条款在正式合同中约定”。

    随后,B政府作为甲方与A公司作为乙方签订PPP项目合同,约定项目按照合同要求建设并投入运营后,由B政府承担向乙方支付污水处理费的义务(最终用户向B政府付费),并且“当项目公司成立后,乙方在本协议项下的所有权利和义务自动转让给项目公司”。

    根据前述协议,A公司设立由其100%控股的项目公司C,由C公司承继PPP项目合同中与建设、运营项目相关的所有权利义务。C公司主要通过向当地银行贷款的方式进行项目融资,以完成项目建设并将污水处理厂投入运营。

    In a comprehensive judgment published on 23 April 2020, the Cayman Islands Court of Appeal, comprising Moses JA, Martin JA and Rix JA, has provided welcome clarification of the interplay between a contractual agreement to arbitrate disputes arising between shareholders and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court to determine whether a company should be wound up on the just and equitable ground.
