    专属管辖权条款在破产程序中的效力:评Guy Kwok-hung Lam[2023] HKCFA 9一案
    2023-05-04

    在终审法院最新颁布的 Re Guy Kwok-hung Lam[2023] HKCFA 9突破性裁决中,终审法院驳回了该案的上诉,并且在判词中就专属管辖权条款(EJC)是否对提交破产呈请有影响这一棘手问题作出裁决,平息了长期对于相关议题的争论。

    简而言之,终审法院认可上诉法院大多数法官对于本案的观点,认为一般来说,如果呈请债务的基础争议受制于专属管辖权条款,除非有其他反面因素存在(例如债务人破产的风险将会影响第三方、债务人的呈请以几乎无意义的争议为基础,或者发生滥用法律程序的情况等), 则法院应驳回该破产呈请。

    终审法院在裁定中指出,当只有一名债权人提出破产呈请,而没有证据表明全体债权人都面临风险时,破产制度背后的公共政策因素的重要性则显着降低。

    这一裁定反映了法院非常重视当事人自治的原则,以及当事人之间自由达成的协议。该判决将会对破产领域产生深远的影响,以及对处理清算及破产呈请中的仲裁条款产生涟漪效应。

    2023-03-31

    簡介

    香港法院在香港將外國註冊公司清盤的法定司法管轄權,受到法院自設的限制所規限;該等限制被稱為法院行使上述司法管轄權之前所須符合的三大核心要求。

    最近在Re Guoan International Ltd[2023] HKCU 939一案中,原訟法庭(「原訟庭」)需考慮是否將一間已被其註冊地點的法院清盤的外國註冊公司清盤。

    Would the Court wind up a foreign company which has already been wound up in its place of incorporation?
    2023-03-31

    Introduction

    The statutory jurisdiction of Hong Kong Courts to wind up a foreign-incorporated company in Hong Kong is subject to self-imposed restraints that have been articulated as the “three core requirements” which must be satisfied before the court would exercise that jurisdiction.

    In the recent case of Re Guoan International Ltd[2023] HKCU 939, the Court of First Instance (“CFI”) considered whether to wind up a foreign-incorporated company which has already been wound up by the court in its place of incorporation.

    債權人可否基於復還不當得利的申索提出破產呈請?
    2023-02-28

    簡介

    英國和香港的法例均規定,債權人只可以就其應獲支付的算定金額提出破產呈請,但相關法例條文並無界定何謂「算定金額」(liquidated sum)。在Re Dusoruth (a bankrupt) Dusoruth v Orca Finance UK Ltd (in liquidation) [2022] EWHC 2346 (Ch) 一案中,英格蘭及威爾斯商業及財產法庭(「法院」)澄清,復還不當得利的申索不論如何確切,仍不能被視為算定金額,因此不能成為破產呈請的依據。

    背景

    申請人是一名商人,亦是在英國、英屬維爾京群島及馬爾他等多個司法管轄區註冊的多間公司的最終擁有人。他以其中一家公司進行欺詐,遊說富戶投資,然後透過無抵押貸款將資金轉移到他控制的其他公司。申請人被他其中一間正在清盤的公司(「答辯人」)基於以下債務提出破產呈請(「該破產呈請」),並於2020年11月被判定破產:

    1.從答辯人的銀行帳戶支付,用於清償申請人的個人信用卡帳單的361,899.73歐元;及
