    A scheme too far? Scheme of arrangement sanctioned for Dutch company with New York law governed obligations
    2014-04-30

    Preamble

    Most if not all of our readers will be aware of a recent spate of decisions in which the English courts have been prepared to sanction schemes of arrangements (SofAs) for foreign entities having a “sufficient connection” with England and Wales. The latest decisions in Re Magyar Telecom B.V. (03/12/2013) show just how flexible the English courts can be in finding such a connection.

    De separatist en de redelijke termijn: wat is redelijk?
    2014-05-09

    Separatistenpositie

    Pand- en hypotheekhouders nemen in het geval van een faillissement een bijzondere positie in, te weten de positie van een separatist. Separatisten staan in beginsel buiten het faillissement. Dat betekent dat de rechten van een separatist – waarvan het recht van parate executie het belangrijkste recht is – in stand blijven, ondanks een ingetreden faillissement.

    De pandhouder heeft in het executietraject niet te vrezen
    2014-05-09

    De Hoge Raad heeft recent meer duidelijkheid gegeven over de positie van een pandhouder in het kader van een met de pandgever afgesproken opheffingsuitverkoop. Zowel het regime van parate executie en de wettelijke grenzen die aan verrekening in faillissement worden gesteld kwamen aan de orde in dit arrest. Kort gezegd: een afspraak dat executie via een opheffingsverkoop plaatsvindt kan zonder enig risico worden gemaakt.

    Dutch pre-pack alternatives on the rise
    2013-08-29

    A pre-pack is the term used for the restructuring of a company through a transaction that is prepared as much as possible outside of formal insolvency proceedings, and whereby the enterprise survives but some or all of the company's debt is restructured. The aim of preparing the transaction in advance is to ensure the maximum preservation of value. Several structures can be distinguished.

    Dutch pre-pack alternatives on the rise
    2013-09-06


    There has recently been a number of successful pre-pack restructurings in the Netherlands.

    2013-09-24

    In a ground-breaking decision, the Dutch Supreme Court recently found that a foreign bankruptcy trustee may in principle exercise the powers conferred on him under the lex concursus (the law governing the bankruptcy) in the Netherlands as well.
