    企业破产程序中环境债务之解决方案
    2023-04-27

    我国现行的《环境保护法》、《民法典》侵权责任编、《企业破产法》以及最高人民法院相关司法解释对于追究企业的环境侵权民事责任作出了相应的规定,但对于企业破产阶段的环境侵权之债的清偿顺序问题,并未作出明确规定,如果仅将其作为普通债权进行处理,往往导致企业的环境债务无法得到清偿。在此前提下,破产程序中的环境债务问题已引起司法部门高度重视。2022年11月4日,贵阳市中级人民法院出台的《贵阳市中级人民法院关于审理企业破产案件中涉生态环境问题处理的工作指引》,体现出法院不断强化环境保护司法力度的趋势;2023年2月,最高人民法院发布的推进碳达峰碳中和典型案例四“杭州某球拍公司破产清算案”[1],将案涉危废物处置费用作为破产费用列支,充分反映出司法对生态环境保护愈加强化。

    破产企业环境债务与职工债务、税务债务一样,均具有社会性、公益性的特殊性质,同时环境债务所承载的环境治理长远性意义尤甚。因此,破产企业环境债务的清偿问题亟待厘清。

    Supreme Court Pokes a Hole in the Ironclad Nature of Bankruptcy 363 Sales
    2023-04-25

    Purchasers often relish the prospect of buying distressed assets in a bankruptcy proceeding. Under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, a buyer may obtain ownership of bankruptcy estate assets “free and clear of any interest” (assuming certain conditions are met), and also be reasonably confident that the sale will not be reversed on appeal. But the U.S. Supreme Court may have now tempered that confidence. In its recent, unanimous opinion, MOAC Mall Holdings LLC v. Transform Holdco LLC, No. 21-1270 (Apr.

    Use It or Lose It: U.S. Supreme Court Unanimously Holds in MOAC Mall Holdings LLC That 363(m) Protections Can Be Waived
    2023-04-26

    The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued its latest bankruptcy opinion in MOAC Mall Holdings LLC v. Transform Holdco LLC, holding that the Bankruptcy Code’s rule against invalidating 363 sales after appeal is not an iron-clad jurisdictional bar, but rather a mere statutory limitation.[1]

    U.S. Supreme Court Rules Appellate Protection of Bankruptcy Property Sale Is Subject to Waiver and Estoppel
    2023-04-26

    In Short

    The Situation: The U.S. Supreme Court considered whether § 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, which limits a party's ability to undo an asset transfer made to a good-faith purchaser in a bankruptcy case, is jurisdictional.

    Second Circuit holding: Assumption of Ground Lease doesn’t require cure payment to contractor
    2023-04-26

    In a recent decision, the Second Circuit held that only parties with the right to pursue a breach of contract claim under an executory contract or unexpired lease have the right to demand a cure payment in the event the executory contract or lease is assumed by a debtor in bankruptcy, affirming previous decisions by the bankruptcy and district courts, and limiting the scope of Bankruptcy Code § 365(b)(1)(A).

    Das Wandeldarlehen - alles neu macht(e) der Mai?
    2023-04-26

    Wandeldarlehen sind ein bewährtes und seit Jahren fest etabliertes Finanzierungsinstrument für Start-ups. Ein Wandeldarlehen ist ein (in aller Regel unbesichertes) Darlehen verbunden mit einem Recht oder auch einer Pflicht zur späteren Wandlung der Darlehensforderung (zzgl. aufgelaufener Zinsen) (zumeist im Zuge der nächsten Finanzierungsrunde) in neu an dem Start-up auszugebende Gesellschaftsanteile. Hierbei werden Wandeldarlehen regelmäßig als flexibles Instrument gewählt, um mit geringem Aufwand eine Finanzierung zu erreichen.

    Ascentra Holdings, Inc - a Model answer?
    2023-04-26

    Globalisation means that the effects of a business entering insolvency proceedings rarely stay within the territorial confines of a single jurisdiction; one need only look to the recent cryptocurrency bankruptcies as evidence of this. Cross-border insolvencies are no longer the preserve of large multinational corporation failures. Globalisation and the advent of digitisation mean that even small enterprises have customers, assets, and suppliers in multiple countries. This is particularly so across Asia.

    Divide Over Bankruptcy Code’s Abrogation of Tribal Sovereign Immunity Comes Before the Supreme Court: Lac du Flambeau Band v. Coughlin
    2023-04-26

    On April 24, 2023, the First Circuit’s opinion in Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians v. Coughlin came up for oral argument before the Supreme Court. At issue in this appeal is whether this provision’s “abrogat[ion]” of sovereign immunity “as to a governmental unit,” defined to include any “other … domestic government” in section 101(27), embodies a congressional intention to revoke the sovereign immunity of a Native American tribe with sufficient and obvious clarity to be construed as such a revocation.

    コラム:元書記官の独り言~債権届出事項①(届出債権者の特定事項)のはなし~
    2023-04-25

    私は、当事務所にて事務職員として勤務していますが、前職 は大阪地方裁判所の裁判所書記官として、裁判所での倒産 事務に携わっておりました。現在も当事務所の倒産事件につ き弁護士をサポートしていますので、元書記官の視点から、今 回は、債権届出書の記載事項のうち、届出債権者の特定につ いてお話いたします。

    倒産手続が開始すると、裁判所から債権者に対して通知が なされるとともに、定められた期間内に、倒産債務者(破産者、 再生債務者または更生会社)に対して有する債権を裁判所 に届け出るよう求められます(ただし、破産手続の場合は、破 産法31条2項の規定により、配当の見込みが立つまで債権届 出を不要とする「留保型」が採用される場合もあります。)。
