    跨境無力償債案的最新進展:香港法院拒絕對上市公司進行清盤,因債權人未能顯示 「有形利益」
    2021-05-11

    引言

    在Re China Huiyuan Group Ltd [2020] HKCFI 2940一案中,原訟法庭拒絕對一家在香港上市的開曼公司進行清盤,因為原訟法庭認為,呈請人未能證明在作出清盤令後,債權人確實有可能獲得實際利益。

    案情

    SDFIII Holdings Limited(以下簡稱「呈請人」)以資不抵債為由,發出對China Huiyuan Juice Group Limited(以下簡稱「該公司」)進行清盤的呈請。各方對該債務沒有爭議。

    該公司在開曼群島註冊成立,並在香港聯交所主板上市。該公司的資產包括在英屬處女群島註冊成立的附屬公司的所有權,該等附屬公司在中國內地擁有附屬公司,而該等附屬公司又擁有該公司的相關資產,並開展生產及其他業務。

    對該公司無爭議的是,該公司已資不抵債。該公司要求押後該呈請,以推進該公司的債務重組。由於股份已暫停買賣,而該公司亦面臨潛在的退市問題,該公司認為重組是令集團業務重回正軌的唯一方法,長遠而言,對該公司的債權人是有利的。

    因此,法院將裁定是否立即發出清盤令或批准延期。

    爭議點

    爭議點如下:-

    The guarantor in the debtor's bankruptcy
    2021-05-10

    In a guaranty, the guarantor assumes an obligation in favor of a creditor to pay in the place of the principal in the event of default (conditional, secondary obligation). A guaranty is a separate contract from the contract by which the principal assumed the obligation in favor of the creditor, though dependent and accessorial to it.

    Outside a bankruptcy event, the guarantor has the same defenses as the principal against the creditor. In case of payment to the creditor, the guarantor has the right to repeat against the principal.

    Court will not grant a regulating order based solely on the impact of COVID-19
    2021-05-10

    In Hong Kong, the Official Receiver, a provisional liquidator, liquidator or any creditor may apply for a regulating order any time after the presentation of a winding-up petition. Because the court has the power to dispense with various winding-up procedures on making a regulating order (for example, the calling of the first meeting of creditors and contributories), this has sometimes been viewed as a way to facilitate a more streamlined liquidation process.
