    Another take on winding-up exempted limited partnerships in the Cayman Islands
    2022-06-15

    The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands has recently ruled In the Matter of Formation Group (Cayman) Fund I, LP (Formation) 1 that it is possible to bring a just and equitable petition to wind-up an exempted limited partnership (ELP) in its own name, as opposed to that of the general partner (GP). This decision contradicts aspects of Justice Parker's judgment In The Matter of Padma Fund LP (Padma). 2 In this update, we consider these conflicting first instance decisions.

    Challenges of Enforcing a Confession of Judgment in Illinois
    2022-06-15

    A confession of judgment clause may allow a creditor to seek a judgment immediately against the debtor if the debtor fails to pay an obligation. Confession-of-judgment clauses, by which a debtor waives most rights to contest a debt, often appear in contracts, promissory notes, guaranties and other agreements. Signing a confession-of-judgment clause may help a debtor get credit not otherwise available. But although the confession-of-judgment clause is designed to streamline collections, enforcing one is not always simple or easy.

    High Costs Of Unconstitutionality, Potential Remedies, & Proposed Accountability (Siegel v. Fitzgerald)
    2022-06-16

    It seems like a small thing: Chapter 11 debtors in two states paying lower quarterly fees than Chapter 11 debtors in the other 48 states.

    What’s the big deal?

    Alabama and North Carolina throw a political hissy fit, three or four decades ago. They want their own Bankruptcy Administrator system (not the U.S. Trustee system established everywhere else). And they are rewarded. The reward includes lower quarterly fees.

    Where’s the harm in lower quarterly fees? What follows is an attempt to:

    再生手続における再生計画案に賛成する議決権行使に関する和解 (賛成議決権行使和解)の検討
    2022-06-14

    第1 はじめに

    事業再生型の民事再生手続において、再生手続実施者と 再生債権者との再生計画案の賛成議決権行使の合意に向 けた活動が行われます。特に、従前の取引先との関係を維 持しながら、再生債務者の事業を立て直す方法による再建 計画の場合には、再生計画案の認可確定がなければ、全て の事業再生計画が頓挫してしまいます。その意味では、再生 手続実施者にとっては、再生計画案の賛成議決権行使の合 意に向けた行動は、これを否定すべきものではなく、再生債 務者の事業再生を現実に実現するために必要不可欠である 場合もあります。このことは、DIP型であるか管理型を問わ ず、大変重要な問題となります。

    第2 再生手続における「賛成議決権行使和解契 約」についての問題提起

    この問題をテーマとして扱う理由は、「賛成議決権行使和 解」の意味が注目されるに至ったことによります。この契機と なったのが最高裁令和3年12月22日決定〔本決定〕です。本 決定の内容と意義については、秋田弁護士が2022年4月の Newsletter(下記のURL)で報告〔以下、〔秋田報告〕といいま す〕しています。

    FERC v. The Bankruptcy Court: The Latest In a Decades-Long Jurisdictional Turf War
    2022-06-14

    The Fifth Circuit recently weighed in on the hotly contested issue of whether the Federal Energy and Regulatory Commission (FERC) or the bankruptcy court has controlling jurisdiction when it comes to the question of a bankruptcy debtor’s ability to reject contracts regulated by FERC. FERC-regulated contracts include electricity power purchase contracts, as well as transportation services agreements involving oil and gas.

    不当な目的による破産手続開始の申立て (仙台高裁令和2年10月13日決定を参考として)
    2022-06-14

    1 仙台高裁令和2年10月13日決定のご紹介(破産手 続開始申立てが不当な目的によるものとして棄却され た事例)

    (1) 当事者・本件抗告

    相手方Y(債務者)は平成23年11月頃から勤務医師として働 いており、抗告人Xは令和元年9月26日にYと離婚した元妻で す。Yは、令和2年2月に支払を停止し、令和2年6月2日に本件 の破産手続開始の申立てを行いました。原審(福島地方裁判 所相馬支部)が、令和2年7月27日、Yについて破産手続を開 始する旨の決定(原決定)をしたのに対し、Xは、原決定を不服 として、原決定の取消し及びYの破産手続開始の申立ての棄 却を求めて即時抗告(本件抗告)しました。

    Xは、離婚に伴う財産分与として、現住所のマンションの所有 権をYから譲り受けたところ、同マンションには住宅ローンの抵 当権が設定されており、財産分与後もYが債務者として同ロー ンの支払を継続することが離婚協議書により合意されていま した。もっとも、Yが破産すると、マンションに設定された抵当権 が実行され、XはYに対し、上記合意の債務不履行に基づく 損害賠償請求権(破産債権)を有することとなります。
