    开曼群岛重组制度:近期普通法案例对无力偿债公司董事有何启示
    2022-07-14

    开曼群岛法例中的新设重组制度,大有可能受到一众审慎董事垂青 – 尤其鉴于许多公司正面对种种宏观经济状况及困难。且看康德明开曼群岛合伙人 Jonathon Milne、律师 Rowana-Kay Campbell 及香港合伙人林宛萱如何剖析其原因。

    开曼群岛《公司法》第 V 部将于今年修订,当中所订立的公司重组制度,可谓万众期待。

    新制度将赋予董事一项新增法定权力,董事可藉此在相关公司陷入财政困难并有意向债权人提出还款方案时,向开曼群岛法院提出呈请以委任具适合资格的重组主任。

    对于在责任上须要考虑债权人利益的董事而言,上述新增权力意义重大。

    本文将参照最新典据,探讨董事有何责任须考虑债权人利益,以及该等责任会因何种情况而触发。

    关于新制度下的其他生效变更,请见《新设重组主任制度概览》一文。

    2022-07-12

    In Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited v Arjowiggins HKK2 Limited [2022] HKCFA 11, the Court of Final Appeal has confirmed that the "leverage" created by the prospect of a winding-up – as opposed to the making of a winding-up order – provides a legitimate form of "benefit" for the purposes of satisfying the second of the three "core requirements" for winding up a foreign incorporated company in Hong Kong.

    在Lasmos案之後,涵蓋清盤呈請所涉債務的仲裁協議的法律效力為何?
    2022-06-30

    簡介

    最近在Re Hong Kong Bai Yuan International Business Co., Ltd [2022] HKCFI 960一案中,原訟法庭(「法院」)命令被告人(「該公司」)向呈請人(「呈請人」)償還一項受仲裁協議涵蓋的債務,否則將被頒令清盤。法院澄清,雖然法院在行使酌情權時會給予仲裁協議相當大的比重,但不一定將事情轉交仲裁處理。

    背景

    呈請人於2021年6月10日提出呈請(「該呈請」),要求法院對該公司發出清盤令,理由是該公司未能遵守關於一項955,000歐元債務(「該債務」)的法定要求償債書,因此根據香港法例第32章《公司(清盤及雜項條文)條例》(「該條例」)第178條被視為無力償債。
