    2025-03-24

    在当前的经济条件下,在开曼群岛(“开曼”)或英属维尔京群岛(“BVI”)注册成立的离岸公司(包括作为投资基金开展业务的公司)的股东越来越多地被迫考虑,在董事对公司事务管理不善负有责任时,其对该等董事所享有的权利。尤其是,小股东特别希望了解是否有救济措施,使其能够克服“违法者控制”的局面。换言之,通常董事会的组成和管理是由大股东控制的。在本篇文章中,我们简要介绍了在开曼和BVI两个司法管辖区,董事所承担的职责以及股东可获得的救济措施。

    英属维尔京群岛的自愿清算
    2025-03-19

    介绍

    英属维尔京群岛(「BVI」)的清算不具有救援功能,标志着公司生命周期的结束。 BVI 的清算可以是:

    1) 破产清算,因此受《2003 年破产法》(经修订)(「破产法」)管辖;或者

    2) 有偿付能力的清算,因此受英属维尔京群岛商业公司法(经修订)(「公司法」)管辖。《公司法》经《2022 年 BVI 商业公司(修订)法》和《2022 年 BVI 商业公司(修订)条例》(「修订」)修订。

    本简报列出了与英属维尔京群岛自愿清算相关的一些要点。我们准备了另一份简报涵盖《破产法》下与破产清算相关的问题。

    自愿清算的目的

    程序

    《公司法》第 197(1) 条规定了公司自愿清算的标准。公司只有在以下情况下才可以进入自愿清算:

    Overview

    Insolvency practitioners will be familiar with section 283A of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the "Act") and what is commonly termed the 'use it or lose it' provisions. But what exactly is meant by a trustee in bankruptcy being informed or becoming aware of a bankrupt's interest in a property for the purposes of section 283A(5) of the Act?
