    English Court recognises sole director's decision-making powers
    2022-10-11

    The High Court has recently held that the appointment of administrators by a sole director of a company with unamended Model Articles was valid.  

    Background 

    The document allegedly appointing the administrators of the company was a standard set of board minutes, reportedly chaired by a man and recording that a quorum was present. In fact, there was no meeting, and the decision was taken alone by the sole female director.

    What is the so-called "creditor duty"?

    This is the duty, introduced into English common law by the leading case of West Mercia Safetywear v Dodd1 in 1988, of company directors to consider, or act in accordance with, the interests of the company's creditors when the company becomes insolvent, or when it approaches, or is at real risk of insolvency.

    The UK’s so-called “creditor duty”: Does it exist and when is it triggered?
    2022-10-11

    The recent decision of the UK Supreme Court in BTI 2014 LLC v Sequana SAV & Ors [2022] UKSC 25 has considered the nature of the so-called “creditor duty” and whether directors are required to take into account the interests of creditors when the company is “insolvent, bordering on insolvency, or that an insolvent liquidation or administration is probable.”

    The Sequana decision also provides guidance about when the so-called “creditor duty” is engaged.

    Subchapter V Trustee Role in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
    2022-10-12

    Chapter 11 Subchapter V cases are a relatively new animal in the bankruptcy world. Subchapter V was added to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in February 2020 to provide an efficient and cost-effective alternative process for small businesses wishing to organize under Chapter 11.

    Unlike regular Chapter 11 business reorganizations, Subchapter V provides for the appointment of a trustee. However, Subchapter V provides little detail about the role of these trustees. This article discusses how one court dealt with this ambiguity.

    Japan: Japan to introduce long-awaited majority voting rule for out-of-court workout
    2022-10-12

    In brief

    In Japan, any out-of-court workout requires the unanimous consent of all creditors to a restructuring plan. On 4 October 2022, the Japanese government announced that it is considering introducing new out-of-court workout rules. Under the proposed new rules, a restructuring plan will be binding if a majority vote of creditors and confirmation of the court is obtained. Such a majority rule is a common feature amongst schemes of arrangement in many other countries.
