    Judges lead the way on cross-border insolvency initiatives
    2017-02-01

    The last decade has exposed the bankruptcy courts across the globe to a large volume of international work, and with that experience in mind, the Judicial Insolvency Network (JIN) held its inaugural meeting in Singapore in late 2016. Its intent was to formulate a set of guidelines (theGuidelines) that would promote cooperation between Courts. Sitting alongside common law and legislative cross-border provisions, the Guidelines are a practical code to enhance some of the most successful cross-border initiatives of recent years.

    Hanjin in Insolvenz - update
    2017-02-13

    Am 31. August 2016 hatte die weltweit siebtgrösste Container-Liner Reederei, Hanjin Shipping Co.Ltd. (nachfolgend Hanjin), in Korea Gläubigerschutz beantragt. Die Hoffnungen, dem koreanischen Gericht einen Sanierungsplan vorlegen zu können, haben sich in der Folge nicht ganz unerwartet rasch zerschlagen. Der Seoul Center District Court hat am 2. Februar 2017 entschieden, am 17. Februar 2017 über Hanjin Shipping Co.Ltd definitiv den Konkurs zu eröffnen[1].

    Hanjin Shipping: From the eye of the storm and back
    2017-03-01

    Since the bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping Co. Ltd., so many articles have been written about how it happened, why it happened, and what can be learned from this tragedy. When Hanjin Shipping, once the 7th largest container carrier in the world and the 4th largest container carriers in the transpacific (Asia – US & Canada) trade, filed for bankruptcy, few believed that a “too big to fail” organization like Hanjin would not be given a government bail-out. So, naturally, no one really appreciated the kind of disruption and losses that would subsequently affect the global supply chain.
