    Hervorming van de insolventiewetgeving

    Meer dan twee maanden hebben we er op moeten wachten, maar op 21 maart 2021 kwam eindelijk de goedkeuring van de wet die de insolventiewetgeving gedeeltelijk en tijdelijk hervormt.

    Dit was bijna twee maanden nadat het algemene moratorium op faillissementen dat sinds 28 oktober 2020 van kracht is, afliep.

    1. Waarom deze wetgevende tussenkomst noodzakelijk was

    Cass. Com., 10 mars 2021, n°19-12.825

    Bulle d’oxygène pour les entreprises en difficultés : simplification de la PRJ
    2021-04-16

    Réforme de droit de l'insolvabilité

    On l’attendait depuis bientôt deux mois, voire plus : le 21 mars 2021, une loi réformant partiellement et temporairement le droit de l’insolvabilité a été votée.

    Cette loi intervient presque deux mois après la fin du moratoire général sur les faillites en place depuis le 28 octobre 2020 et qui prenait fin le 31 janvier dernier.

    Déclaration de créances : le créancier peut ratifier une déclaration irrégulière faite par un préposé sans pouvoir valable
    2021-04-14

    Cass. com., 10 mars 2021, n° 19-22.385

    L’article L. 622-24 du Code de commerce est clair : tout mandataire ou préposé du créancier peut effectuer pour le compte de celui-ci une déclaration de créance au passif d’un débiteur à l’encontre duquel une procédure collective a été ouverte.

    En effet, cet article prévoit notamment (alinéa 2) que :

    FTSE 350: Snapshot of arrangements for AGMs to be held after 30 March 2021
    2021-04-12

    Following the end of the flexibilities afforded by The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (CIGA) in relation to the conduct of general meetings and following the publication of guidance by The Chartered Governance Institute (ICSA) we have reviewed notices of Annual General Meetings (AGMs) to be held after 30 March 2021. We set out some common themes around how companies are organising their AGMs in light of the guidance issued and the current restrictions in place.

    债务偿还安排计划如导致解除债权人针对第三方之权利,能否获得法院认许?
    2021-04-08

    简介

    债务偿还安排计划是一个重组公司债务的方法,让公司与其债权人或任何类别债权人订立安排 或达成妥协。在香港,香港法例第 622 章《公司条例》第 13 部规管有关安排及妥协。法院可 下令债权人就拟议订立的安排或妥协举行会议,并可在其后认许某安排或妥协,前提是在出席 该会议且有投票的债权人中,占当中价值最少 75%的过半数债权人或类别债权人同意该安排 或妥协。

    在英国,《2006 年公司法》第 26 部列出有关债务偿还安排计划的相关规定。最近在英国 Port Finance Investment Limited [2021] EWHC 378 (Ch) 一案中,英国高等法院重申有关更改针对 第三方之权利及类别组合的原则。

    The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 and the Oil & Gas Industry
    2021-04-08

    The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Bill was published on 20 May 2020 and went through an accelerated parliamentary process, receiving Royal Assent on 25 June 2020 (with the provisions coming into force on 26 June 2020).

    The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (“CIGA”) introduces a mixture of permanent and temporary “debtor friendly” measures to restructuring and insolvency law in England and Wales and in Scotland, jurisdictions which have historically been viewed as being “creditor friendly”.

    Pre-pack Sales to Connected Parties: The New Evaluator Process Considerations for Administrators and Purchasers
    2021-04-06

    From 30 April 2021, an administrator will be unable to complete a sale of a substantial part of a company's property to a connected person within the first eight weeks of the administration without either:

    • The approval of creditors
    • An independent written opinion (positive or negative)

    This alert considers the impact of the new regulations in practice, which apply to both pre-packs and post-packs that take place within eight weeks of an administrator's appointment.

    Mainzeal judgment: Court of Appeal finds directors liable with quantum still to be clarified
    2021-04-06

    The Court of Appeal has delivered the highly anticipated Mainzeal judgment after hearings in July 2020. The Court held that the directors breached both of the two core duties which protect creditors from the risks of insolvent trading, but overturned the controversial measure of damages for reckless trading adopted by the High Court. The High Court is now required to reconsider the quantum of loss but on a "new debt" measure.
