    Insolvency and the Arbitration Agreement - A Closer Look at Founder Group (Hong Kong) Limited (in liquidation) v Singapore JHC Co Pte Ltd
    2024-05-24

    Introduction

    The players may change but the story is always the same – the debt that is due and owing arises out of documents which contain an arbitration agreement. In such a scenario, should the claimant pursue winding-up proceedings in court or commence an arbitration?

    The Legacy of Re Guy Lam Lives on
    2024-04-29

    The landmark Court of Final Appeal (“CFA”) decision of Re Guy Lam[1] has generated numerous articles written by practitioners and academics on the interaction between exclusive jurisdiction clauses and the court’s jurisdiction to wind up or bankrupt a debtor. Following the CFA’s decision, the Guy Lam bankruptcy continued to impact our legal landscape when the Court of Appeal handed down a novel decision on the treatment of the costs and expenses of the bankrupt trustees (for whom TDW acted) in circumstances where the bankruptcy order was overturned in appeal[2].

    Agree to disagree - does winding-up or arbitration take precedence in insolvency?
    2023-09-04

    Three recent Hong Kong first instance court decisions have left undecided the question of whether a winding-up petition will trump an agreement to arbitrate when it comes to a winding-up and particularly in the context of cross-claims. A Court of Final Appeal decision this spring had seemed to provide pointers that the parties' agreement would be upheld but the issue – particularly when it comes to unmeritorious and late arbitration applications – is dividing the courts.

    Subchapter V Trustee’s Facilitation Role (Part 4)—A CITY OF DETROIT MODEL
    2023-08-29

    “(b) Duties.—The [Subchapter V] trustee shall— . . . (7)facilitatethe development of a consensual plan of reorganization.”

    • From 11 U.S.C § 1183(b)(7)(emphasis added).

    Facilitation is, by statute, a duty of every Subchapter V trustee—something a Subchapter V trustee must do. But the nature and boundaries of the facilitation role have always been fuzzy and, therefore, misunderstood.

    My purpose in this multi-part series is to provide observations on the facilitation role.
