    Wells Fargo v Virgin: the first clarification on an insolvency administrator’s obligation to “give possession” under the Cape Town Convention
    2020-09-03

    On 14 May 2015, Australia acceded to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (“Cape Town Convention”) and the Protocol to the Cape Town Convention (“Cape Town Protocol”). In particular, for insolvency related proceedings, Australia adopted what is known as “Alternative A” in aviation industry speak. The Cape Town Convention became effective as Australian law on 1 September 2015 and applies to the relevant aviation leasing and financing transitions entered into after that date.

    通过破产重整挽救企业,为湾区经济健康发展保驾护航——SX公司破产重整再生之路
    2019-06-25

    为创新经济发展模式、扩大对外开放力度,国家设立大湾区并着力将其打造为充满活力的世界级城市群和内地与港澳深度合作示范区。从定位不难看出,实行充分的市场经济和法治经济,为全国经济发展提供新的引擎和全新的模式,无疑是粤港澳大湾区的重要使命。要完成这一神圣使命,离不开破产重整制度。通过破产重整,挽救那些一时陷入财务困境和经营困境的企业,从而为湾区经济健康发展保驾护航。SX公司通过破产重整涅槃重生,就是破产重整制度保驾护航的典型案例。

    一、企业初探:破产重整的机遇与挑战

    1、SX公司基本情况

    SX公司成立于1981年,于1994年在深交所上市,总股本约35000万股,其中流通股18000万股,限售流通股17000万股。

    SX公司控股或参股四家实业公司,分别为科技公司、实业公司、饲料公司和西部公司。

    2、SX公司重整受理情况

    因不能清偿到期债务,经债权人饲料公司申请,深圳市中级人民法院(下称深圳中院)于2009年11月10日裁定SX公司进入重整程序,并指定北京市金杜(深圳)律师事务所担任管理人。

    如何看待上市公司破产重整
    2016-05-13

    破产重整,实践中也称之为司法重组、法庭内重组、破产保护,是在人民法院主导下进行的企业重组活动,是《企业破产法》规定的三种程序之一。与破产清算程序不同,破产重整程序旨在帮助限于困境的企业脱离困境、实现重生。自《企业破产法》于2007年6月1日实施以来,沪深两市已有49家上市公司实施了破产重整,其中47家已完成重整。此外,部分从沪深两家交易所退市的公司也实施了破产重整。从实践来看,破产重整的上市公司或者退市公司多数具有债务负担沉重、持续经营能力较弱、盈利能力较差的特点。从结果来看,破产重整程序确实起到了拯救困难企业的积极作用。长航凤凰(SZ,000520)、长航油运5(400061)是近年来通过破产重整程序实现企业脱困复兴的典型案例。

    2013-07-10

    Insurers and insureds do not bear the risk of a contractor becoming insolvent when undertaking insured repair work. The insurer’s only obligation is to pay its appointed contractor and not any subcontractors engaged by that party.
