    The guarantor in the debtor's bankruptcy
    2021-05-10

    In a guaranty, the guarantor assumes an obligation in favor of a creditor to pay in the place of the principal in the event of default (conditional, secondary obligation). A guaranty is a separate contract from the contract by which the principal assumed the obligation in favor of the creditor, though dependent and accessorial to it.

    Outside a bankruptcy event, the guarantor has the same defenses as the principal against the creditor. In case of payment to the creditor, the guarantor has the right to repeat against the principal.

    Court will not grant a regulating order based solely on the impact of COVID-19
    2021-05-10

    In Hong Kong, the Official Receiver, a provisional liquidator, liquidator or any creditor may apply for a regulating order any time after the presentation of a winding-up petition. Because the court has the power to dispense with various winding-up procedures on making a regulating order (for example, the calling of the first meeting of creditors and contributories), this has sometimes been viewed as a way to facilitate a more streamlined liquidation process.
