    重整计划执行变更之观察
    2024-07-11

    重整程序作为困境企业摆脱债务沉疴、回归正常生产经营的有效路径,而重整计划执行可谓其最后一公里。近年来,囿于疫情突发、经济形势波动等诸多因素,重整计划执行不能的案例呈现增多趋势。一旦重整计划陷入执行不能境地,宣告破产便成了悬在重整参与方头上的达摩克利斯之剑。为避免直接宣告破产导致重整参与方的利益遭受严重损害,《企业破产法》及相关规定提供了重整计划变更、执行期限延长、监督期限延长(本文统称“重整计划执行变更”)等缓冲机制。本文以涉及重整计划执行变更的公开案例作为观察起点,试归纳实践中重整计划执行变更制度的具体实施情况,并探讨可能衍生的新旧重整计划衔接问题及处理建议。

    The spirit of business rescue: What creditors need to know
    2024-07-11

    ​​A business rescue plan (a plan) should ideally benefit all affected persons in the best way possible, and a vote in support of its adoption or rejection should not be premised purely on self-interest while disregarding the collective benefit of all affected persons.

    A recent High Court judgment highlighted this fact, setting aside the major creditors' votes on the grounds of inappropriateness, and investigating the creditors' conduct during the business rescue process.

    Updated criteria makes SCARP an option for a larger number of Irish companies
    2024-07-16

    The financial thresholds of the Small Companies Administrative Rescue Procedure (SCARP) have been increased, meaning that SCARP is now a potential option for a larger number of companies in Ireland.

    SCARP, which was introduced in 2021, aims to provide a cost-effective restructuring option for viable but insolvent companies. It is available to small and micro companies as defined in the Companies Act and is not an option for larger companies, which must use other restructuring mechanisms.
