    No WARN liability for lender despite exercise of substantial control
    2008-04-24

    The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) requires an employer to give 60 days’ advance written notice prior to a plant closing or mass layoff. Frequently, as a company encounters financial distress—a situation that often leads to a plant closing or mass layoff— creditors exercise greater control over the entity in an attempt to recover debts owed to them. When the faltering company fails to provide the requisite WARN notice, terminated employees often assert that WARN liability should attach to such creditors. In Coppola v. Bear, Stearns & Co.

    Business rates as administration expenses
    2007-03-14

    The High Court has considered the payment of business rates as expenses in new-style administrations. Business rates in respect of premises occupied by a company during the course of its administration are ‘necessary disbursements’ under rule 2.67(1)(f) and payable as expenses of the administration, as they are in a liquidation under rule 4.218(1)(m). Rates for unoccupied premises would also appear to be payable as administration expenses, although not as liquidation expenses.
