    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。

    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.
