    Additional Caution Required for Insolvency Practitioners Relying on Companies House Filings
    2024-03-05

    Over the past week, reports have emerged about filings that have been made at Companies House marking a charge as satisfied, without the company's or relevant lender's knowledge.

    There were rumours last week, which were simply that, because Companies House had not publicly announced any issue, but, as we have seen over the weekend and is now widely reported in the news, it appears that there have been at least 800 erroneous filings.

    公司法修订解读:以公司破产、解散为视角
    2024-02-02

    一、前言

    随着现代企业制度的不断发展,规范公司架构及配套体系的需求不断增强,同时考虑到要切实维护公司、股东、债权人、职工等多方主体的合法权益,公司法在此背景下历经数次修订。2023年12月29日,全国人大常委会审议通过了最新修订后的《中华人民共和国公司法》(下称“新公司法”),并将于2024年7月1日起施行。新公司法进行了多方面的修改,将对公司破产、解散等相关业务产生新的要求和影响。本文以此为视角,立足于当前公司破产、解散业务之实践,简要分析新公司法对实务可能产生的影响。

    二、新公司法的主要修订及对公司破产或解散的影响

    1. 强化破产申请对职工意见的关注

     

    现行公司法

    新公司法

    第十八条:公司依照宪法和有关法律的规定,通过职工代表大会或者其他形式,实行民主管理。

    公司研究决定改制以及经营方面的重大问题、制定重要的规章制度时,应当听取公司工会的意见,并通过职工代表大会或者其他形式听取职工的意见和建议。

    新公司法下的股东出资义务加速到期制度或更有利于债权人保护
    2024-02-02

    作者:曲淼

    引言:2023年12月29日全国人大常委会审议通过的新《公司法》,删除了2018年《公司法》中16个条文,实质性修改了112个条文。其中,新《公司法》对公司存续情况下是否应当赋予公司债权人对未届期出资股东的出资请求权这一焦点问题做出了回应,在“注册资本认缴制“转变为“有期限的认缴制”的大前提下,进一步放宽了股东出资义务加速到期的条件。

    原《公司法》体系下的股东出资期限利益:

    原《公司法》规定公司注册资本认缴制的目的,是为了减少创业者的资金需求、减轻创业者的资金压力,从而达到鼓励创业、繁荣市场经济的目的。在这一体系下,股东享有出资期限利益,在公司章程规定的出资期限届满前,股东可以以其出资期限利益对抗公司及债权人。但是这一制度在赋予股东出资利益期限的同时也带来了诸多问题。如在股东出资期限尚未届满,公司不具备清偿能力且又未申请破产的情况下,一些股东往往据此规避法院的强制执行。债权人无法依据现有规定主张未出资股东承担责任,其合法权利得不到有效保护。

    Welcome Relief for Officeholders as Criminal Liability Risk Question Clarified
    2024-02-28

    Is an administrator of a company an "officer" of that company? The Supreme Court's answer in a recent employment judgment (with potentially broad application) was a resounding "no," which will undoubtedly reassure insolvency practitioners faced with potential criminal liability for carrying out duties conferred on an "officer" of the company.

    新《公司法》中董事怠于清算责任的构成要件及抗辩要点初探
    2024-02-28

    引子

    将于2024年7月1日正式施行的《公司法》(以下简称“新《公司法》”)第二百三十二条对于“清算义务人”及“未及时履行清算义务责任”(以下简称“董事怠于清算责任”)进行了重大修订,无论是股份公司还是有限公司,董事都将成为法定的唯一清算义务人。该条规定的更新无疑将引发司法解释及其他配套规定的新一轮重大修改,并将再次对司法实践中本就争议颇多的怠于清算责任案件的裁判规则带来冲击。
