    東京地裁「倒産部」とビジネス・コート
    2022-11-07

    1 東京地裁「倒産部」に(2022年4月

    東京地裁では、2022年3月まで、長年にわたり、破産・民事 再生は民事20部(破産再生部)、会社2 ビジネス・コート(2022年10月)更生は民事8部(商事 部)によって事件処理がなされてきましたが、同年 4月より、会 社更生、特別清算及び外国倒産処理手続承認援助事件等 が民事8部から民事20部に移管され、民事20部の名称も「破 産再生部」から「倒産部」に変更1 されました2。

    民事再生と会社更生はともに再建型の倒産手続であり、手 続が類似しているところもあることから、会社更生が民事20部 に移管されたことに伴い、従前の会社更生の実務運用が変わ ることも考えられるものの、民事20部としては、当面は民事8部 の運用を承継しつつ、破産・再生事件の運用状況も踏まえ て、利用者が利用しやすい、公正・適正性を担保した円滑な 手続運用を継続的に検討していく3 、とされていることから、当 面は運用が大きく変わることはないと思われます。

    “Early warning signs of insolvency” - The new pre-insolvency restructuring bill
    2022-11-07

    Early in October, three new Bills were tabled to Parliament: a Bill to amend the Commercial Code provisions on Bankruptcy, a Pre-Insolvency Bill, and a Bill to regulate Insolvency Practitioners. These Bills intend to partially transpose the EU Directive 2019/1023 on preventive restructuring frameworks. The aim of the Directive is to encourage Member States to implement measures that enable the early detection of financial difficulties to avoid insolvency altogether, failing which, there could be a smoother transition into insolvent liquidation.

    Eastern District of Virginia Bankruptcy Court Issues Extensive Memorandum Opinion Confirming Market-Based Hourly Rates Apply in Approving Fee Applications
    2022-10-19

    Settling any remaining uncertainty in how professionals’ hourly rates will be considered for approval in bankruptcy courts in the Eastern District of Virginia, on October 18, the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia approved the professional fee applications in the Nordic Aviation bankruptcy cases, including the rates of each of the professionals as appropriate market rates. In particular, the Bankruptcy Court noted that, “[m]uch ink has since been spilled differentiating so-called ‘local’ rates from ‘national’ rates. The distinction is much ado about nothing.

    Solvent-debtor exception carries the day in Fifth Circuit ultra petroleum ruling on make-wholes and post-petition interest
    2022-10-19

    On October 14, 2022, the Fifth Circuit issued its decision in Ultra Petroleum, granting favorable outcomes to “unimpaired” creditors that challenged the company’s plan of reorganization and argued for payment (i) of a ~$200 million make-whole and (ii) post-petition interest at the contractual rate, not the Federal Judgment Rate. At issue on appeal was the Chapter 11 plan proposed by the “massively solvent” debtors—Ultra Petroleum Corp. (HoldCo) and its affiliates, including subsidiary Ultra Resources, Inc.

    Through the Looking Glass of Bankruptcy Valuation Methodologies
    2022-10-19

    The Second Circuit released a new decision this week in Sears regarding bankruptcy valuation methodologies and the entitlement of second lien debt holders to adequate protection. Among other interesting aspects of the ruling, the Second Circuit affirmed the Bankruptcy Court’s adoption of a "net orderly liquidation value" for the debtors’ inventory as of the petition date (rather than looking to the actual values obtained by the debtors during the case).

    关于“以房抵债” 在破产程序中面临的不同效果的探讨
    2022-10-19

    “以房抵债”安排,原常见于缓解开发商在开发过程中少量资金短缺的问题,但部分房地产企业逐渐将其演化作为平衡资金需求的工具,签订大量的“以房抵债”协议,在出现现金流危机、甚至濒临破产的情况下,无力偿还欠款,也无力建完房屋交付债权人,使得“以房抵债”的实现问题变得愈加尖锐。而在理论和实践中,“以房抵债”也存在较多的争议,即便表面上均具备相似的特征,由于个案事实细微的差别,或是裁判观点不同,导致不同的判决结果。故此,本文拟就“以房抵债”在破产程序中可能面临的不同效果进行梳理及探讨。

    一、关于“以房抵债”的法律关系的厘清

    实践中关于“以房抵债”存在着各种各样的约定,归纳起来,最为常见的为“以物抵债”类型的安排:通常发生在债务到期后(部分案件中可能发生在债务到期前),即以债务人或他人持有的房屋作为抵偿债务的“物”,通过折价转让给债权人的形式,实现债务清偿的目的。该种抵偿改变了原债权金钱给付的方式,在理论上,可称为“他种给付型以房抵债”。
