    Out-of-court restructuring to exit asbestos litigation: alternative to chapter 11
    2022-09-16

    Asbestos litigation continues to rage on in the tort system with no likelihood of receding in the immediate future. In addition to the inherent costs associated with having to defend and settle asbestos claims, managing asbestos litigation can be a significant distraction for corporate officers and directors from running their businesses. The overhang of asbestos litigation can also severely dampen the value of an otherwise successful and profitable company.

    Vous pouvez obtenir ce que vous avez négocié ou non : une ordonnance de mise sous séquestre écarte une clause d’arbitrage dans l’affaire Mundo Media
    2022-09-12

    L’arbitrage est un mode consensuel de résolution des différends qui permet aux parties de personnaliser leur processus et même de choisir leur propre décideur. L’insolvabilité est le scénario diamétralement opposé, dans lequel les différends concernant le débiteur sont involontairement regroupés devant un seul tribunal d’insolvabilité.

    You (may not) get what you bargained for: a receivership order displaces an arbitration clause in Mundo Media
    2022-09-12

    Arbitration is a consensual method of dispute resolution in which the parties can customize their process and even select their own decision-maker. Insolvency is the diametrically opposite scenario, where disputes involving the debtor are involuntarily consolidated before a single insolvency court.

    Update On Preference And Fraudulent Transfer Litigation
    2022-09-13

    The appellate courts have been busy explaining or clarifying preference and fraudulent transfer law. Although novices may think the Bankruptcy Code (Code) is clear on its face, imaginative counsel have found gaps in the statute and generated rafts of litigation since the Code's enactment in 1979. Recent appellate decisions, summarized below, show that courts are still making new law or refining prior case law.

    The erosion of part 5.3A protections through the mechanism of the creditors’ trust - a parallel but essentially unregulated regime of administration
    2022-09-13

    Over the past decade, insolvency practitioners have developed an intrigue for the use of the creditors’ trust. Many have sought to structure their Deeds of Company Arrangement’s (DOCA) in a way that interfaces with a creditors’ trust through the mechanism of a creditors’ trust deed.
