    Once a Shareholder, Always a Shareholder: Subordination of Appraisal Rights under Section 510(b)
    2021-08-09

    Should a claim for appraisal rights brought by a former shareholder of a Chapter 11 debtor be subordinated under Section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code? According to the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the answer is yes. See In re: RTI Holding Co., LLC, No. 20-12456, 2021 WL 3409802 (Bankr. D. Del. Aug. 4, 2021).

    破産申立代理人の財産散逸防止義務について
    2021-08-10

    1 はじめに

    破産手続開始申立の多くは、弁護士を代理人としてなされま す。債務者からの依頼を受けて破産手続開始申立の代理人 になる弁護士は、委任契約上、その事務処理につき、委任契 約上求められるレベルをもって履行し、依頼者の利益を実現 する義務を負います。それに加えて、破産手続が、債権者その 他の利害関係人の利害や、債務者と債権者との間の権利関 係を図ることを目的とする手続である(破産法1条)ことから、破 産申立代理人になる弁護士は、依頼者である債務者以外に も多数の債権者や利害関係人の権利関係を適切に調整し、 債務者の財産を適正に処理するという役割を担っており、破 産目的の実現に資するように行動するという公的な責務も同 時に負います(伊藤眞他『条解破産法[第3版]』159頁(弘文 堂、令和2年))。

    2021-08-10

    In the recent Sheriff Court judgment in the case of The Accountant in Bankruptcy v Peter A Davies, the Sheriff sought to clarify how a family home should be dealt with following the sequestration of an individual.

    Background

    The debtor was sequestrated in October 2010.

    In October 2020, the Accountant in Bankruptcy (‘AiB’) applied to the Sheriff under section 40 of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985 (now section 112 of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016) to permit the sale of the debtor’s family home.

    連載コラム:コロナ禍での倒産案件の動向①―民事再生編-
    2021-08-10

    1 はじめに 

    新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大が本格化した2020年4月頃 は、メディアなどで、2020年は企業の倒産件数が大幅に増加 するのではないか、という予測が少なからず見受けられました。 もっとも、実際には、企業の倒産、特に民事再生は大きく減少 しました。2020年の倒産動向については民間信用情報機関 等で発表1 されていますが、法的倒産案件の具体的な件数に 触れたものはあまりみかけないように思いますので、何回かに 分けて紹介したく考えています。今回は民事再生編です。

    2 民事再生の利用状況

    民事再生には、①主に企業の事業再生に活用される「通常 再生」、及び②個人のみが利用可能な「個人再生」の2種類が あります。この2つの手続のこれまでの利用状況は以下のとお りです2 。

    Key Differences between Scottish and English Security - Part 4
    2021-08-11

    The terms "ranking agreement" and "intercreditor agreement" are used interchangeably but generally refer to the same types of agreement - being those which regulate the priority of repayment of indebtedness owed to the creditors of an obligor. Strictly speaking, a ranking agreement is the Scottish equivalent to the English law deed of priorities and is typically used for shorter form ranking arrangements. As is the case in England, a Scottish intercreditor agreement is typically reserved for more complex arrangements and usually ranks both securities and liabilities in point of priority.

    “…it is fallacious and unrealistic for the Company to assume that the value of the Haitian Shares remained the same from February to August 2019. Between February and August 2019, Haitian Energy had published no less than nine announcements suggest that the financial condition of Haitian Energy was in a state of flux, and that the value of the Haitian Shares was susceptible to fluctuation.”

    Hong Kong Court expresses dissatisfaction in relation to the “unhealthy” practice of creditors issuing multiple winding-up petitions against the same debtor company
    2021-08-04

    In recent years, there has been an increasing trend for different creditors to issue multiple petitions against the same debtor company. This may be due to the large number of listed companies in Hong Kong encountering financial difficulties during this period of economic downturn, or simply a lack of knowledge of the law in this area.
