    Reviving the Corporate Rescue Bill in Hong Kong
    2023-08-01

    Against the backdrop of Hong Kong's emergence from the pandemic and the government's efforts to entice tourists and investors back, there arises a question as to whether the government might consider reviving the corporate rescue bill. Implementing a framework for debt restructuring and negotiations with creditors would help prevent liquidations, which often result in additional job losses and contribute to further economic decline.

    Bestuurder persoonlijk aansprakelijk voor opgelegde boete wegens kartelafspraken (annotatie)
    2023-08-01

    Het faillissement van Heiploeg uit 2014 is een bron van principiële geschillen en procedures. Deze Heiploeg-uitspraak werpt de vraag op onder welke voorwaarden een (door de Europese Commissie) aan Heiploeg opgelegde kartelboete kan worden verhaald op een (in dit geval gewezen) bestuurder. In de literatuur is vanuit meerdere invalshoeken de nodige aandacht besteed aan de mogelijkheid om op grond van het mededingingsrecht een boete op te leggen aan bestuurders en andere feitelijk leidinggevenden.
