    Bulgaria introduces new regime for insolvency of merchants
    2023-08-10

    The Bulgarian government has introduced a new form of insolvency regime directed at merchants effective from 1 July 2023. In this new framework, a merchant is distinctly defined as an individual involved in business or practising a craft or a liberal profession. The criterion for the classification is the nature and scale of the operations, which should not necessitate conducting activities in a purely commercial manner.

    Directors' duties post Sequana - a differentiating factor?
    2023-08-11

    As expected, the scope of directors' duties whilst a company is in financial difficulties has been the source of further consideration by the Court. The recent case of Hunt v Singh [2023] EWHC 1784 raised the question as to whether, following the Supreme Court decision in BTI 2014 LLC v Sequana SA, a director's duty to take into account the interests of creditors arises where the company is at the relevant time insolvent if a disputed liability comes to fruition.

    2023-08-11

    Over the past year, digital asset investors have become acutely aware of asset custody and counterparty credit risks due to the high-profile bankruptcies of Voyager, Celsius, BlockFi, and FTX. These investors have found that, at times, their assets may be stuck in a bankruptcy proceeding for years. However, these investors—now bankruptcy claim holders—have options for more immediate liquidity.

    インドネシア 執筆者: ジェン・エリザベス・ドノウ、ハンス・アディプトラ・クルニアワン 1. 2023 年 KPPU 規則第 3 号及び 2023 年政令第 20 号:新しい企業結合届出規 則及び手数料 インドネシア企業競争監視委員会(Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha)(以下「KPPU」という。)は、新しい企業 結合届出規則である 2023 年 KPPU 規則第 3 号(以下「2023 年規則第 3 号」という。)を公布した。2023 年規則 第 3 号は、従前の企業結合届出規則である 2019 年 KPPU 規則第 3 号(以下「2019 年規則第 3 号」という。)を廃 止し、これに取って代わるものである。以下に、2023 年規則第 3 号の主な要点を簡単に述べる。 (i) 企業結合届出要件:F2F(Foreign to Foreign)取引における地域関連基準 2023 年規則第 3 号によると、全ての取引当事者がインドネシアにおいて資産又は売上げを有する場合にの み、企業結合届出の義務が生じる。これは、取引当事者の 1 者でもインドネシアに資産又は売上げを有する 場合には企業結合届出義務が生じていた 2019年規則第3号に基づく制度と比べて注目すべき変更である。

    仲裁合意をした当事者の倒産
    2023-08-08

    第1 はじめに 

    国際契約を中心に、契約書に仲裁条項が設けられることは 珍しくありません。仲裁条項のある契約について紛争が生じた 場合、裁判所ではなく合意された仲裁機関での紛争解決が 試みられます。では、このような仲裁条項のある契約について、 一方当事者が倒産した場合、仲裁条項は引き続き有効でしょ うか。仲裁という当事者間の合意を重視する手続と、倒産とい う強行法規的に一律かつ集団的な調整を行う手続とは、相 互に相反するようにも見受けられます。仲裁と倒産の関係につ いては、国際的にも大きな議論があるところですが、以下で は、仲裁条項のある契約につき、海外の契約相手が破産した 場面を想定して、基本的な考え方を概観したいと思います。

    第2 仲裁合意は破産管財人を拘束するか

    一般的な仲裁条項は、例えば、以下のような条項であり、契 約に関するあらゆる紛争は、合意された仲裁条項に基づき、 合意された仲裁機関(下記の例では、シンガポール国際仲裁 センター)で仲裁により最終解決されます。
