    The Year In Bankruptcy: 2022
    2023-01-31

    One year ago, we wrote that, in early 2021, it was widely anticipated that the unprecedented pressure the COVID-19 pandemic brought to bear on the U.S. economy would lead to a boom in corporate bankruptcy filings. That boom never materialized. Instead, business bankruptcy filings in the U.S. plummeted in 2021. That trend continued until the last quarter of 2022.

    法院在甚么情况下会认许债务偿还安排?
    2023-01-31

    简介

    一间公司陷入财政困难时,其中一个重组债务的方法是与债权人订立债务偿还安排(scheme of arrangement)。根据香港法例第622章《公司条例》第673条,法院有权认许债务偿还安排。经法院认许的债务偿还安排将对公司及拟订立该安排的债权人或类别债权人具有约束力。

    最近在Re Hong Kong Airlines Limited(香港航空有限公司) [2022] HKCFI 3792一案中,法院需考虑是否认许香港一间大型航空公司提出的债务偿还安排计划。

    案情

    香港航空有限公司(「该公司」)是一间提供客货空运以及其他航空相关服务的香港公司。由于新冠病毒疫情对航空业界造成严重打击,该公司的现金流周转不灵,合共欠债约490亿港元。除非该公司能将现时债务重组,否则很可能清盘。

    First Impressions: The Eleventh Circuit Examines 20-Day Administrative Expense Claims and the Subsequent New Value Preference Defense
    2023-01-31

    The Bankruptcy Code confers "administrative expense" priority status on the claims of vendors for the value of goods that are shipped in the ordinary course of business and received by a debtor within 20 days of filing for bankruptcy. It also provides vendors and other creditors with various defenses to the avoidance of preferential payments received from the debtor during anywhere from 90 days to one year before filing for bankruptcy, depending upon whether the creditor is an "insider" of the debtor.

    Fifth Circuit: Bad Faith Does Not Overcome Deferential Business Judgment Standard Applied to Assumption or Rejection of Contracts in Bankruptcy
    2023-01-31

    The ability of a bankruptcy trustee or chapter 11 debtor-in-possession ("DIP") to assume, assume and assign, or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases is an important tool designed to promote a "fresh start" for debtors and to maximize the value of the bankruptcy estate for the benefit of all stakeholders. Bankruptcy courts generally apply a deferential "business judgment" standard to the decision of a trustee or DIP to assume or reject an executory contract or an unexpired lease.

    Commercial wisdom of the liquidator upheld by the Supreme Court
    2023-01-31

    2016年破産倒産法の下では、企業債務者が債務の弁済ができない場合、倒産処理手続き(CIRP)が開始され、再建計画の募集により企業債務者の再生を試みます。その後、当該再生手続が失敗に終わった場合、企業債務者は清算されることになります。法は、CIRPにおいては「管財人」が企業債務者の再生と再構築に取り組み、これが失敗した場合に、清算人が企業債務者の支配者となり、企業債務者の資産を売却してその収益を分配し、解散を申請する、と定めています。清算人は、管財人は異なるいくつかの特別な権限を有しています。

    R.K. Industries (Unit-II) LLP v. HR Commercials Pvt. Ltd.(R.K. Industries Case)において、最高裁判所は、企業債務者の資産の売却方法に関する清算人の商業的英断は、倒産裁判所の限定的な司法審査の対象となることを明確にしました。

    Bankruptcy Court Issues Ruling on Ownership of Celsius Account Assets
    2023-01-31

    The concept of “property of the estate” is important in bankruptcy because it determines what property can be used or distributed for the benefit of the debtor’s creditors. Defined by section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, “property of the estate” broadly encompasses the debtor’s interests in property, with certain additions and exceptions provided for in the Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 541. Difficult questions can arise in a contractual relationship between a debtor and a counterparty about whether an entity actually owns a particular asset or merely has some contractual right.
