    Wet beschermt beleggers in derivaten
    2016-05-04

    Al sinds 2004 schrijft de MiFID richtlijn voor dat dat beleggingsondernemingen financiële instrumenten (waaronder verhandelbare derivaten) veilig en bankruptcy remote moeten aanhouden voor hun cliënten. In 2005 bleek waarom: bij het faillissement van Van der Hoop Bankiers bleek dat beleggers geen aanspraak meer hadden op hun derivaten, maar concurrent schuldeiser van de bank waren geworden.

    De Minister van Justitie beloofde daarop met wettelijke bescherming te komen. Die is er nu.

    Right to disclosure of bookkeeping limited by purpose
    2016-05-17

    In the event of bankruptcy, creditors are entitled to disclosure of the bookkeeping of the estate under certain conditions. In its decision dated 8 April 2016 (ECLI:NL:HR:2016:612), the Dutch Supreme Court ruled that this right is limited and depends on the purpose of the disclosure. Creditors are not entitled to disclosure if the purpose is to retrieve information to support their claim against a third party.

    Pledgee benefits from security rights in connection with receivables pledged to him
    2016-05-23

    In its 18 December 2015 ABN/Marell judgement, the Dutch Supreme Court held that if secured debt is pledged, the holder of that right of pledge has the authority to enforce not only its own pledge but also the security connected with that pledged secured debt. Such chains of secured debt are not uncommon, but often parties are not aware that they exist. According to this new case law, security down the chain can be used in the enforcement of the primary security.

    Ranking of bankruptcy trustee’s expenses not prejudiced by unlawful act
    2016-06-01

    On 5 February 2016 the Dutch Supreme Court ruled that the fact that a trustee in bankruptcy unlawfully collected pledged receivables has no consequences for the ranking of his salary. That the trustee in this case would profit from his unlawful behaviour (his salary is the highest ranking claim in a bankruptcy) is undesirable, but not enough reason to change the ranking.

    Vissen schuldeisers van noodlijdend TSN Thuiszorg achter het net?
    2015-12-24

    TSN Thuiszorg B.V. ('TSN') verkeert al enige tijd in financiële problemen. Dit voorjaar haalde zij al meerdere keren het nieuws doordat zij haar werknemers een fikse loonkorting oplegde – ten onrechte, zo bleek onlangs (zie Rechtbank Overijssel 13 november 2015, ECLI:NL:RBOVE:2015:5042). Eind november heeft TSN noodgedwongen surseance van betaling moeten aanvragen en kreeg dat ook. De afgelopen dagen kwam TSN opnieuw in opspraak.

    Curator kan zich verzetten tegen faillietverklaring
    2016-01-04

    Het is tegenwoordig schering en inslag: zogenaamde 'lege boedels'. Het gaat dan om rechtspersonen die failliet verklaard worden terwijl deze niet over enige baten beschikken. 

    Een aangestelde curator, wiens salaris op de eerste plaats voldaan wordt uit die baten, heeft in dat geval het nakijken. Hij zal zijn wettelijke werkzaamheden toch moeten verrichten, in de wetenschap dat hij daarvoor niet zal worden betaald.

    Unlawful actions of bankruptcy trustee no influence on statutory ranking among creditors
    2016-02-15

    The Supreme Court recently issued an interesting ruling in an insolvency case where receivables that had been validly pledged to a bank were unlawfully collected by a bankruptcy trustee. The question was whether the damages claim of the bank against the bankrupt estate would take priority over the foreclosure and settlement costs, including the bankruptcy trustee’s salary.
