    Die große Unbekannte: Insolvenzanfechtung
    2020-10-19

    Die für Geschäftspartner (Gläubiger) eines bankrotten Kaufmanns oder Unternehmens (Schuldner) bereits an sich schlechte Situation wird durch das Recht des Insolvenzverwalters zur Insolvenzanfechtung nach §§ 129 ff InsO vielfach erst richtig ärgerlich. Insolvenzanfechtung bedeutet, dass derjenige, der vorinsolvenzlich noch Leistungen oder auch nur Sicherheiten vom Schuldner erhalten hat, gezwungen sein kann, diese zur Befriedigung der Gläubigergesamtheit wieder herausgeben zu müssen.

    The new Swiss blockchain/DLT laws have been finalised and presumably enter into force early 2021
    2020-10-15

    The new set of Swiss laws on blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT; Blockchain/DLT Laws) has been approved by the Swiss Parliament on 25 September 2020 and is thus now in final form. Subject to a referendum, which is unlikely, the Blockchain/DLT Laws will presumably enter into force early next year.

    The main topics of the Blockchain/DLT Laws are:

    Regulator or Creditor: When is Enforcement of Consumer Protection Laws Exempt from the Automatic Stay, and Who Makes That Determination?
    2020-10-13

    Can state regulatory agencies move ahead with lawsuits against businesses who file for bankruptcy in order to enforce consumer protection and business laws, or does the automatic stay’s broad injunctive sweep capture those actions? The answer depends on whether the state is acting in its regulatory capacity or simply like another creditor – and the distinction is not always clear.

    The COVID pandemic is going to increase bankruptcy filings in 2020 and 2021. Therefore, it is important to know some bankruptcy basics in order to maximize recovery. It is also important to retain bankruptcy counsel, but only after ensuring the likelihood of recovery and if the case/claims necessitate engagement of a bankruptcy specialist.

    Can You Purchase Real Estate Safely from Bankruptcy, Foreclosure, or a Receiver?
    2020-10-13

    Yes, but only if it is done carefully.

    All three of these options are procedures intended to secure the most money from the sale for the payment of creditors, and to leave the Seller creditor with no post-closing liability, but the procedure is not set up to provide a Buyer the most protection. However, if you proceed carefully, you can secure the major protections you need, in most circumstances.

    Compare these procedures. In a normal contractual sale, a Buyer usually has the following protections:

    Chandos Construction v Deloitte
    2020-10-07

    In Chandos Construction v Deloitte Restructuring, the Supreme Court clarified one aspect of bankruptcy law – the scope and application of the anti-deprivation rule – while leaving an unsettled area of contract law – the penalty doctrine – to be resolved for another day. Here, we consider the implications of the newly-clarified anti-deprivation rule as it applies to the construction industry.
