    Winding-up petitions in the COVID-19 era: where are we now?
    2020-06-04

    The decision of Mr Justice Morgan in A Company (Injunction To Restrain Presentation of Petition) [2020] EWHC 1406 (Ch) (judgment anonymised) which was handed down on 2 June 2020 will be of interest to tenants and landlords alike in the current climate. The judgment, which follows the decision in Travelodge Ltd v Prime Aesthetics Ltd [2020] EWHC 1217 (Ch) will be of huge precedent value to commercial tenants that have been impacted by coronavirus and have been unable to meet their rent obligations as a result.

    Financial Daily Dose 5.26.2020 | Top Story: Covid-19 Drives Already-Troubled Hertz to Bankruptcy
    2020-05-26

    Unable to reach a last-minute deal with investors, rental car mainstay Hertz filed for bankruptcy late Friday night, doing so “without a clear plan with creditors in place—a rare move for a company of its size.” Though, like the other big-name bankruptcies in recent weeks, the pandemic pushed the company over the edge, Hertz has been in pretty miserable shape for years, beset by “a series of strategic missteps and other blunders that kept Hertz behind competitors and buried in debt” –

    Brexit: Finance / Restructuring & Insolvency
    2021-01-07

    Unless the Article 50 period is extended yet again, the UK is currently set to leave the EU on 31 October 2019 at 11pm GMT. However, if the Withdrawal Agreement is ratified, the impact of Brexit will, for most purposes, be postponed due to the transition period. This transition period is currently set to end on 31 December 2020. The Withdrawal Agreement provides that during transition, the UK would continue to be treated as if it were still an EU member for the purposes of a range of directly application EU legislation which is core to the smooth running of financial transactions.
