    Insolvency & Insolvency Procedures in the UK - Revisit
    2020-07-27

    With COVID-19 causing ever increasing financial uncertainty around the globe, we thought it an apt time to provide you with a summary of the various corporate insolvency procedures in the UK applicable to companies facing financial difficulties. Taking each in turn, we will discuss administration, administrative receivership, company voluntary arrangements, schemes of arrangement and liquidation. We will also touch briefly on directors’ duties, rules relating to asset distribution on insolvency and transactions that may be set aside on insolvency or ‘reviewable’ transactions.

    Spotlight on: Safe Harbour
    2019-12-17

    The perception of Australia as being a relatively “risky” place to sit on a Board has generally focused on the insolvent trading prohibition in section 588G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and how it interacts with general directors’ duties.[1]

    资管纠纷:嵌套中的权利虚化与重叠
    2019-07-16

    一、嵌套的本质:收益权的收益权

    嵌套,根据资管新规第二十二条和第二十七条的表述,是指甲资管产品投资乙资管产品的份额。即通过一项资产所设立的产品成为了另外一个产品投资的对象,形成了产品之中还包含产品的现象。

    资产端的嵌套的本质上是以收益权为中心的权利虚化与重叠。试看下述两例:

    图一

    (2016)最高法民终215号案(下称“215号案”,见图一)中,定向资管计划从某投资公司受让了私募债券的收益权,而某银行又从定向资管计划受让了该资管计划的收益权,即“私募债券收益权的收益权”。其中,“私募债券收益权”是在“私募债券”这一概念中分离和抽象出来的虚化标的,“私募债券收益权的收益权”则是在“私募债券收益权”基础上进一步抽象出来的虚化标的,构成 “二重虚化的合同标的”。该案中的多层嵌套结构,如我们之前在《“收益权”创制问题的旧题新解》中分析,本质上就是以高度重合的标的进行的叠加式融资交易。

    Key lessons for liquidators and administrators: independence is paramount
    2012-07-20

    In light of the modern trend towards “pre-pack” arrangements as a legitimate restructuring solution, a recent judgment handed down in the Federal Court provides a timely reminder for insolvency practitioners that independence is paramount and liquidators can be removed upon the application of a creditor in circumstances where there is a perception of conflict.

    执行干货I专题二:私力还是公力?破产网络拍卖买受人的救济路径
    2020-07-27

    前记

    执行是实现生效裁判文书债权的“最后关键一环”,是维护当事人合法权益的“最后一公里”。囿于执行领域纷繁复杂的法律规定以及各地司法实践的尺度不一,执行往往成为争议解决的重点及难点。我们长期专注于执行领域,代理了大量金融资管公司、上市公司的公证债权文书、诉讼/仲裁的执行案件。为此,基于执行实务经验,我们着眼于当前执行领域的热点难点问题,推出执行干货系列专题文章,敬请关注。

    专题二

    目前,法院通过网络拍卖平台处置财产已成为处置执行财产的主要方式,相比传统拍卖模式而言网络拍卖的效率可能更高,也更有利于保护债权的实现以及债务人的合法权益。近年来,越来越多的破产财产也同样通过网络拍卖平台高效处置。实践中,竞买人经常因为种种原因事后意图“悔拍”并寻求救济。对此,破产网络拍卖相关纠纷究竟属于何种性质?竞买人应选择什么程序进行救济?拍卖公告是否一律不得修改?本文结合司法实践对前述疑问进行单刀直入地解析。

    私募股权投资纠纷:优先清算权条款该如何执行
    2019-12-10

    优先清算权条款是境外风险投资项目的常见条款,随后逐渐在国内私募股权投资文件中采用。很多投资人关心,这一舶来品能否获得中国司法机关的认可,我们简要分析如下:

    一、什么是优先清算权

    优先清算权,是指公司清算时,部分股东优先于其他股东获得剩余财产分配的权利;或者,在约定的“视同清算事件”发生时,部分股东优先于其他股东从公司获得收益的权利,“视同清算事件”通常包括公司合并、被并购、出售控股股权、出售主要资产等事件。

    在私募股权投资项目中,投资人为保障其自身权益采用优先清算权条款,目的是:在公司经营不善遭遇清算时,投资人可以优先拿回一些补偿;在投资人无法通过公司上市退出,发生公司被并购等“视同清算事件”发生时,其能够优先收回其投资成本和一定程度的投资回报,实现资产变现。该条款可谓投资人的“分钱利器”。

    二、如何看待该条款效力

    《公司法》第34条明确规定股东可以自由约定“利润分配”的比例。该条规定:“股东按照实缴的出资比例分取红利;公司新增资本时,股东有权优先按照实缴的出资比例认缴出资。但是,全体股东约定不按照出资比例分取红利或者不按照出资比例优先认缴出资的除外。”
