    Real Estate Bulletin - November 2019 - Landlords prove unsuccessful in challenging Debenhams’ CVA despite its somewhat draconian provisions
    2019-11-13

    Discovery (Northampton) Ltd & others v Debenhams Retail Ltd & others [2019] EWHC 2441(Ch)

    Company Voluntary Arrangements (“CVAs”) are seen as most unfair by landlords who are often forced to continue to make a supply of premises at an imposed reduced rent.

    Obtaining information on an opponent’s insurance arrangements - has the door been closed?
    2017-05-24

    There have been a number of cases in recent years in which a party has sought to utilise the provisions of the CPR in order to obtain information on the opposing party's insurance arrangements, rather than waiting for that party to go insolvent in order to use the procedures provided by the Third Parties Rights Act 1930 or 2010. The recent case of Peel Port Shareholder Finance Co v Dornoch Ltd [2017] EWHC 876 (TCC) looks at this again in light of the discretion which Judges have under CPR31.16 for applications for pre-action disclosure and attempts to shut the door on such actions.

    Hanjin Shipping - Current jurisdictional status and options - China
    2016-10-04

    The Chinese Maritime Courts are not obliged to recognise and/or enforce foreign courts' orders, therefore Hanjin's creditors could still arrest Hanjin-related vessels in China if they have maritime claims (recognised under Chinese law) against the registered owners and/or bareboat charterers of the said vessels.

    Container leasing companies and bunker suppliers could also file applications in order to request that the corresponding Chinese Maritime Courts order Hanjin to return the leased containers to Hanjin or the bunkers supplied to Hanjin in certain circumstances.

    Whose engine is it anyway? Challenges to engine leasing in Denmark
    2014-02-26

    A December 2012 ruling has effectively called into question the validity of engine leases in Denmark. Ruling in relation to the bankrupt regional airline Cimber Sterling, a judge in the District Court of Sønderborg ordered the trustees of the estate to return seven of the nine engines in question to the engine lessors. However, the two remaining engines, both GE CF34s valued at around USD 2 million each, were to be retained by the trustees as on the date of bankruptcy they had been affixed to the Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft for over three months.

    Debt recovery and creditor enforcement rights during COVID-19: the challenges and a proposed solution
    2020-11-06

    The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (‘CIGA’) came into force in June 2020 and introduced significant reforms to the insolvency law of England and Wales. This article explores the temporary measures introduced by CIGA, with a particular focus on what they mean for creditors looking to recover bad debts and offers a possible solution for creditors with claims which, in current challenging times, may be written off as disproportionately costly to take forward.

    Limited debt recovery options and enforcement rights until (at least) 31 December 2020

    COVID-19 Insolvency: Considerations for the Singapore (Temporary Measures) Act
    2020-04-08

    The Act is meant to give temporary relief to financially distressed individuals, firms and businesses who are facing challenges imposed by COVID-19 but who are otherwise viable and profitable.

    It is unsurprising that many of the Act’s sections expressly refer to the relevant provisions of the personal and corporate insolvency legislation applicable in Singapore. In this regard, it is noteworthy that the Act refers expressly to the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act (“IRDA”). This warrants some explanation.
