    SCARP Update: More Irish Companies Now Qualify
    2024-11-14

    A recentPwC reportfound that there has been a slight rise in companies availing of the Small Company Administrative Rescue Process (“SCARP”).

    SCARP made up 6% of corporate insolvencies in Q2 2024, up from 3% in the previous quarter.

    However, overall, the numbers availing of this insolvency option remain low, which is notable given that insolvencies generally are increasing.

    Restructuring Update: Third-Party Releases after Purdue Pharma - Solutions in Irish Law
    2024-11-07

    In Harrington v Purdue Pharma,1 the United States Supreme Court held that so-called “non-consensual third-party releases” were not permitted in restructuring plans proposed under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. A “third-party release” arises where creditors are asked to vote on a restructuring plan or scheme which not only proposes to release the debtor company (i.e. the company that has petitioned for bankruptcy or is proposing the scheme) from all liability but to also release other third parties from any associated liability.

    2024-11-06

    The Times reported yesterday on the continued promotion of an “insolvency avoidance” scheme, despite efforts by the Insolvency Service to close it down.

    陈年又逢新岁月,春来更待好花枝——解读检察监督对破产实践趋势的积极影响(一)
    2024-11-05

    前言

    2024年8月26日,苏州市检察院发布了《破产检察监督案件审查指引》(以下简称“《指引》”)。《指引》共计四章六十八条,全面涵盖破产检察监督的基本原则、监督范围、审查要素、监督方式和工作保障等内容。一定程度上,这是全国首例由检察机关根据破产程序的不同环节,详细完善地单独出台破产检察监督相关规定。9月30日,江苏省检察院召开破产领域检察监督工作新闻发布会,通报了全省检察机关开展破产领域检察监督工作的整体情况。

    在《指引》出台前,检察机关对破产程序进行检察监督的法律规定较为原则化,缺乏实操层面的系统性规范。近年随着破产重整等案件数量的大幅增加,破产法律制度因缺乏直接、高效的违法行为监督与纠偏机制,导致债权人等破产参与主体的救济机制略显单一,在经济发展和立法实践中呈现出局限性。在各界呼吁拓展外部监督机制的背景下,各地检察机关不断深化提升破产检察监督职能。在本次《指引》发布前,江苏省检察院在2020年即已出台《加强破产案件检察监督工作的指导意见(试行)》,尝试更为规范地对破产程序进行检察监督。通过4年时间的摸索、总结与完善,江苏省检察机关共办理涉破产监督案件1,351件,为本次《指引》的出台奠定了理论与实践基础。

    Maxima Creditor Resolutions Ltd v Fealy & Anor [2024]
    2024-11-05

    Section 216 Insolvency Act 1986 provides that a person who has been a director of a company at any time in the 12 months before it goes into insolvent liquidation is prohibited for five years from being a director of, or directly or indirectly being concerned in or taking part in, the promotion, formation or management of a company with the same or similar name to the liquidated company (a “prohibited name”). Section 217 imposes personal liability on a director for debts incurred by a company which acts in breach of s 216.
