    Understanding compulsory liquidation
    2018-01-30

    A company enters into compulsory liquidation when the court makes a winding up order. Upon the order being made, the Official Receiver ("OR") is automatically appointed as liquidator, however, the company's creditors may nominate an alternative licensed insolvency practitioner to act as liquidator. A liquidator's primary function is to realise the company's assets for the benefit of its creditors.

    Reform des Insolvenzanfechtungsrechts

    Das Gesetz zur Reform des Insolvenzanfechtungsrechts ist am 05.04.2017 in Kraft getreten. Im Fokus steht mit § 133 InsO die sogenannte Voranfechtung, die bislang in ihrer Ausprägung durch die Rechtsprechung des Bundesgerichtshofs in der Kritik stand. Im Ergebnis musste ein Gläubiger so bereits dann mit einer Insolvenzanfechtung durch den Insolvenzverwalter rechnen, wenn er seinem Schuldner eine Ratenzahlung gewährte.

    Hanjin Shipping - Current jurisdictional status and options - United Kingdom
    2016-10-04

    The fact that the receiver appointed for Hanjin, Mr Tai-Soo Suk, quickly took steps to extend to the UK the protection afforded by the Korean rehabilitation proceedings, was of little surprise, as England is likely to be the forum where the majority of creditors will have to bring proceedings to recover debts or claim damages for breach of contract.

    International review - May 2016
    2016-05-31

    FI and D&O Since our last update, there have been significant developments in the FI and D&O landscape. November saw the first ever UK deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) announced between the SFO and Standard Bank. The DPA process has been available but unused since 2014 so the judgment and the SFO’s comments thereafter provided some much needed guidance on what the process involved. Significantly, weight was placed on Standard Bank’s early self-reporting and cooperation.

    Wilson and Sharp Investments Ltd v Harbour View Developments Ltd [2015] EWCA Civ 1030
    2015-11-16

    Here the Court of Appeal granted an injunction which restrained a building contractor (Harbour View) from presenting a winding-up petition, overturning the high court's decision at first instance.  Harbour View had been engaged under two separate contracts based on a JCT Intermediate WCD (2011) to carry out works at two separate sites.  The employer (Wilson) failed to pay against two interim certificates (August 2013 and September 2013), leaving a sum of over GBP 1.6 million owing.

    2013-10-18

    A recent decision of the Federal Court of Australia has found that the arrest of vessels pursuant to existing security rights, such as maritime liens under Australian admiralty legislation, have priority over cross-border insolvency applications under the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency.
