    In what circumstances will the Court sanction a scheme of arrangement?
    2023-01-31

    Introduction

    When a company encounters financial difficulty, one of the ways to restructure its debts is by entering into a scheme of arrangement with its creditors. Under section 673 of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), the Court may sanction a scheme of arrangement. The sanctioned scheme will be binding on the company and the creditors or class of creditors with whom the arrangement is proposed to be entered into.

    2023-01-31

    1  はじめに

    破産手続の開始後も,破産者が自由財産から保険料支払    を継続し,契約更新を行ったとしても,その後に発生した共 済事故に係る共済金請求権は破産財団に帰属する(破産者 には帰属しない)と判断した東京高等裁判所の判決を紹介し  ます。

    2 事案概要

    破産者は,破産手続開始決定前に自己所有建物等を目的 とする火災共済契約(「本件共済契約」)を締結し,破産手続 開始後も共済掛金の支払を継続し,本件共済契約は自動更 新されていました。破産手続開始決定・自動更新後,保険事故(「本件火災」)が発生しました。共済連合会は,債権者不確知を供託原因として,本件火災に係る共済金を供託しました

    (「本件供託」)。破産管財人は,本件火災に係る共済金請求 権(「本件共済金請求権」)が破産財団に帰属するとして,本件供託に係る供託金請求権を破産管財人が有することの確認を求めました。他方,破産者は,本件共済金請求権は破産者の新得財産であるとして,共済連合会に対し共済金の支払を求めました。時系列は以下のとおりです。

    法院在甚麼情況下會認許債務償還安排?
    2023-01-31

    簡介

    一間公司陷入財政困難時,其中一個重組債務的方法是與債權人訂立債務償還安排(scheme of arrangement)。根據香港法例第622章《公司條例》第673條,法院有權認許債務償還安排。經法院認許的債務償還安排將對公司及擬訂立該安排的債權人或類別債權人具有約束力。

    最近在Re Hong Kong Airlines Limited(香港航空有限公司) [2022] HKCFI 3792一案中,法院需考慮是否認許香港一間大型航空公司提出的債務償還安排計劃。

    案情

    香港航空有限公司(「該公司」)是一間提供客貨空運以及其他航空相關服務的香港公司。由於新冠病毒疫情對航空業界造成嚴重打擊,該公司的現金流周轉不靈,合共欠債約490億港元。除非該公司能將現時債務重組,否則很可能清盤。

    Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee: is your floating charge valid?
    2023-01-31

    In the current times of financial stress, a borrower seeking to renegotiate or refinance existing financing arrangements may be asked by its lender to enhance or refresh its security package through the grant of a new floating charge.

    The question of whether a floating charge can be avoided due to section 245 of the Insolvency Act 1986 ("IA 1986") can arise in such a context.

    Appeal of Unstayed Order Approving Bankruptcy Sale of Real Property Free and Clear of Lease and Related Settlement Agreement Dismissed as Moot
    2023-01-31

    To promote the finality of bankruptcy asset sales, section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code "moots" an appeal of an order approving a sale to a good-faith purchaser unless the party challenging the sale obtains a stay pending appeal. Courts, however, sometimes disagree over the scope of section 363(m) and whether it also bars appeals of orders approving transactions that are related to a sale, such as settlements.

    Default Under Assumed Lease Need Not Be Material or Ongoing to Trigger Landlord's Entitlement to Adequate Assurance of Future Performance
    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. However, the Bankruptcy Code establishes strict requirements for the assumption or assignment of contracts and leases.

    ファクタリングと倒産手続
    2023-01-31

    1  はじめに

    ファクタリングという言葉を聞かれたことがあると思います。ただ,ファクタリングと一口に言っても,複数の形式があり,主  として売掛債権の資金化のために行うもの(債権の売買)と,   貸倒れリスクを軽減するためファクタリング会社が債務保証を する保証形式のものとがあり,前者は担保付きの資金融資

    (すなわち,売掛債権を譲渡担保とした金銭消費貸借契約)  と接近する側面があります。

    そこで,法的には,債権の売買となるのか,担保付きの資金 融資なのかは重要な問題となります。また,ファクタリングは, 法的倒産手続との関係でも様々な論点が出てきます。本稿では,ある裁判例を題材に,ファクタリングと倒産手続につい  て検討してみたいと思います。

    2023-01-31

    In an emerging market such as Cambodia, the process of exiting the market, such as dissolving a subsidiary and company deregistration, can be difficult to navigate. A notable issue is when a company is registered with the Ministry of Commerce (“”) but that is not reflected on the online MOC official database.
