    3 Strikes Against Chapter 15: What the Geden and Siu-Fung Decisions Mean for Recognition Strategy
    <br>
    2026-03-09

    The Southern District of Texas Bankruptcy Court recently underscored the importance of carefully implementing Chapter 15 eligibility. In its Geden and Siu-Fung decisions, the court reasserted its independent duty to scrutinize foreign recognition requests, providing constructive guidance on the steps foreign representatives should take to strengthen their Chapter 15 filings. The rulings offer practical lessons for ensuring compliance with U.S. bankruptcy law requirements and navigating potential recognition challenges.

    One wrong legal basis, one lost case: Managing director liability in a Hungarian Supreme Court decision
    2026-03-09

    When can a managing director be held personally liable in Hungarian liquidation proceedings—and when does the law allow the burden of proof to flip, making a creditor’s case dramatically easier to prove? This case shows that the answer depends not only on the director’s conduct, but on choosing the right legal basis in the statement of claim.

    1. Facts

    The defendant was the manager of the debtor (who has gone into liquidation) with independent representation rights and its sole member.

    公司注销≠财产消失!配偶追索婚内清算资产的维权全攻略(上)
    2026-03-09

    概要

    在离婚纠纷中,掌握公司经营主导权的一方,常以“股东会决议注销+简易清算”的方式处置婚内设立的公司,通过隐匿清算资产、虚构“无剩余财产”、未经合法清算即注销等手段,规避与另一方分割公司资产。而实践中,部分法院因对“公司清算资产与夫妻共同财产的关联性”认定模糊,或以“公司财产非夫妻共同财产”为由驳回非股东一方的调查申请,导致其合法权益难以保障。事实上,婚姻关系存续期间股东从公司清算中获得的剩余财产,本质是股权权益的转化形式,依法属于夫妻共同财产;即便公司已注销,另一方仍可通过法定程序查询资产去向、主张分割权益。本文结合5起各地法院生效典型案例,从资产查询实操方法、诉讼主张路径、法院裁判规则、实操维权要点等方面,为夫妻中非股东一方提供一套可直接落地的维权方案,同时明确法院处理此类案件的现存问题与解决思路,兼具合法性、实操性与参考性。

    考虑到目前国内实践中掌握公司主要经营权的股东一方往往为男性,且本文选取的5起案例中除案例3外均为妻子维权,为增进行文的流畅和可读性,本文在说理部分将以丈夫注销清算公司资产,妻子维权的视角展开。本篇主要介绍清算资产查询全流程和离婚诉讼中分割清算资产的主张路径。
