    English High Court decisions confirm stance on foreign money judgments
    2024-09-11

    The English High Court has ruled that unregistered and time-barred foreign judgments can found the basis of insolvency proceedings in England.

    The threat of insolvency proceedings can be a strong form of leverage to obtain a successful outcome on enforcement of a judgment debt, as judgment debtors will often pay up when faced with the prospect of being found insolvent.

    Verlaagd griffierecht voor onvermogende rechtspersonen
    2024-08-12

    Wanneer een juridisch geschil wordt voorgelegd aan de rechter, zijn er griffierechten verschuldigd. Griffierecht is de vergoeding die door de gerechtelijke instantie wordt geheven voor het in behandeling nemen van de zaak. De hoogte van deze kosten hangt bijvoorbeeld af van de aard van de zaak, het inkomen van een rechtszoekende, en of een natuurlijk persoon of rechtspersoon procedeert. Onder omstandigheden kan een (rechts)persoon in aanmerking komen voor het verlaagd griffierecht voor onvermogenden.

    2024-08-20

    The general rule is that claims of the bankruptcy estate against third parties (e.g., preference claims and tort claims) can be sold to third parties in a § 363 sale.[Fn. 1]

    However, a recent opinion from the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals discusses whether a state’s champerty law impairs a § 363 sale.[Fn. 2]
