简介

在香港，公司可透过自愿或强制清盘方式进行清盘。在债权人自愿清盘中，债权人有权监督及参与清盘过程，包括委任清盘人。然而，债权人之间可能会出现争议，而部分债权人可能希望清盘程序在法院批准下进行。最近在Re Samwell Spare Parts Limited (In Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation) [2022] HKCFI 2851一案中，法院再次探讨关于将自愿清盘转为强制清盘的法律原则。

案情

迅泽航空备件有限公司（「该公司」）因为一项局部仲裁裁决而结欠Airbus Helicopters China HK Limited（「呈请人」）一笔重大债务。该公司通过一项特别决议案，以债权人自愿清盘方式将该公司清盘。于债权人会议举行时，另一阵营占债务总额超过50% 的关连债权人（「关连债权人」）委任了他们选择的清盘人（「清盘人」）。
