    2020-11-10

    1) Premessa.

    Il D.L. 27 giugno 2015 n. 83, convertito con modificazioni dalla Legge 6 agosto 2015, n. 132, ha introdotto un importante correttivo in materia di atti dismissivi compiuti in costanza di concordato preventivo, mediante l’inserimento dell’art. 163 bis L.F. (rubricato “Offerte concorrenti”). La ratio dell’intervento normativo, dichiarata dallo stesso legislatore nella relazione d’accompagnamento al disegno di legge di conversione, è duplice:

    Exide Bankruptcy Highlights Limitations on Environmental Exception for Abandonment
    2020-11-06

    It’s often hard to tell whether the conflict between environmental cleanup laws and bankruptcy statutes is a bug or a feature. The two seem irreconcilable when the intent of environmental laws to protect public health and safety by imposing cleanup costs on the polluter runs headlong into the Bankruptcy Code’s design to give a debtor a fresh start. Frequently, the latter prevails.

    2020-11-06

    On 29 September 2020, the Federal Court of Australia published its much anticipated decision in Habrok (Dalgaranga) Pty Ltd v Gascoyne Resources Ltd [2020] FCA 1395, dismissing Habrok’s attempt to set aside a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA). The DOCA had been the culmination of a 15 month administration, and facilitated the recapitalisation, refinance, and relisting of the gold miner Gascoyne Resources Ltd (GCY) and its subsidiaries (together with GCY, the GCY Group).

    FERC finds abrogation of gas tsas would not be in the public interest ahead of possible bankruptcy proceeding
    2020-11-06

    On October 28, 2020, FERC declined to abrogate or modify firm natural gas transportation service agreements (“Gulfport TSAs”) between Gulfport Energy Corporation (“Gulfport”) and Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (“Rockies Express”) in response to a Rockies Express petition anticipating a potential Gulfport bankruptcy filing. After an expedited paper hearing, FERC concluded that the public interest does not presently require any modification, and thus, that the Gulfport TSAs on file remain just and reasonable.

    Using litigation finance for intercreditor litigation
    2020-11-05

    When stakeholders in a bankruptcy disagree as to how assets should be distributed, the result may be intercreditor litigation that is both expensive and time-consuming. Such litigation can seem antithetical to the purpose of the Bankruptcy Code, which encourages stakeholders to approve a consensual restructuring plan. Nevertheless, many creditors conclude they have no other choice but to litigate.
