    The Eleventh Circuit Revisits the Doctrine of Statutory Mootness in Bankruptcy Sales
    2022-01-14

    The finality of sales of assets in bankruptcy is an indispensable feature of U.S. bankruptcy law, designed to maximize the value of a bankruptcy estate as expeditiously as possible for the benefit of all stakeholders. Promoting the finality of bankruptcy asset sales is the Bankruptcy Code's prohibition of reversal or modification on appeal of an order approving a sale to a good-faith purchaser unless the party challenging the sale obtains a stay pending appeal. This bar of appellate review is commonly referred to as "statutory mootness."

    破産債権者は、官報公告をみなければならないか? (宇都宮地判令和3年5月13日判例タイムズ1489号69頁)
    2022-01-11

    1 はじめに

    破産手続が開始されると、当該事実は官報に公告されると ともに、知れている破産債権者に対して個別に通知されます (破産法32条1項、32条3項)。この知れている破産債権者へ の通知を行う主体は本来、破産裁判所ですが、実務では、破 産管財人が、申立代理人から提出された債権者一覧表に記 載のある破産債権者に対して通知書を送付することによりな されています(破産規則7条参照)。では、実際には債権を もっているにもかかわらず、債権者一覧表に記載がなかったがために通知を受けなかった債権者はどうなるのでしょうか? 本件は、通知を受けなかったために破産手続の存在を知ら なかった債権者が、破産手続に参加したとすれば得られたは ずの配当金を損害として、申立代理人及び破産管財人を訴 えたという事案です。

    2 事案の概要

    事案の概要は、以下のとおりです。

    中国子会社の撤退について ~清算・破産に関する法制度と現状~
    2022-01-11

    1 はじめに

    中国に現地法人を有する日系企業が中国からの撤退を考 える場合、大きく分けて、第三者に対する持分譲渡、清算及 び破産の3つの方法があります。買主が見つかれば、持分譲 渡手続が最も迅速かつ簡便ですが、買主が見つからない場 合には、清算か破産を選択することになります。以前は外資 の中国子会社が破産を申し立てたとしてもなかなか受理され なかったのですが、現在では認められるようになり、破産も選 択肢の一つとなっています。本稿では清算と破産に関する法 制度と現状をご紹介したいと思います。

    2 清算か破産かの判断基準

    中国子会社の資産が負債よりも多く、すべての債務を支払う ことができる場合には清算手続が可能です。他方で債務超 過になっている場合には、破産手続によることになります。た だし、BS上の資産が負債より多い場合であっても、実際には 資産価値が毀損している場合があるため、清算が可能かどう か予めシミュレーションしておく必要があります。

    3 清算手続の概要

    中国における清算手続の流れは以下の通りです。

    Wijziging Insolventieverordening: de WHOA nu ook erkend in lidstaten EU
    2022-01-11

    De Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord (WHOA) is inmiddels een jaar geleden (1 januari 2021) in werking getreden.[1] Met die inwerkingtreding werd het Nederlandse faillissementsrecht een herstructureringsmechanisme rijker. Een rechtspersoon in financieel zwaar weer kan daarmee - kort gezegd - zijn schulden herstructureren door het opstellen en aanbieden van een akkoord waaraan ook tegenstemmende schuldeisers kunnen worden gebonden middels een dwangakkoord buiten faillissement of surseance van betaling.
