    Unlocking value in an insolvent estate: an update on cryptocurrencies
    2020-02-04

    We previously considered the potential implications for insolvency professionals of the rise of cryptocurrencies (available here). One of the principal issues identified was the uncertainty surrounding the legal status of cryptocurrencies; what class of asset were they and, subsequently, how would they be treated under English law?

    The Road Ahead for 2017- Restructuring & Insolvency in the UK
    2017-01-10

    The uncertainties of the UK’s Brexit negotiations with the remaining 27 EU member states are weighing heavily on the UK economy. The 2 years of negotiations will not even begin until notice is served under Article 50 and the procedure as to how Article 50 can be triggered will be the subject of a Supreme Court decision expected later this month.

    Does a company voluntary arrangement permanently vary the terms of a lease?
    2019-11-29

    In this three part blog we highlight three recent court decisions concerning landlord rights and insolvency, which provide cautionary warnings and surprising twists. The questions we consider are:

    1. Does a company voluntary arrangement (“CVA”) permanently vary the terms of a lease?
    2. Can a landlord be forced to accept a surrender of a lease?
    3. What are the consequences of taking money from a rent deposit if the tenant company is in administration?

    In part 1 we consider the first question.

    The balance of power - the right deal or the best deal? New administration procedure for housing sector
    2016-11-22

    The Housing and Planning Act 2016 (the “Act”) introduces special administration procedures for social housing associations which aim to protect the level of social housing in the UK. The new housing administration orders (“HAOs”) create an additional objective for insolvency practitioners to try to keep social housing in the regulated housing sector to maintain levels of social housing.

    CVA challenges by landlords - the latest news
    2019-11-04

    The hair salon Regis announced recently that the company has entered administration. The news might not come as a surprise because the chain, prior to the company’s administration, was subject to a company voluntary arrangement (“CVA”) whose validity was challenged by landlords.

    The joint administrator of Regis commented: “trading challenges, coupled with the uncertainty caused by the legal challenge, have necessitated the need for an administration appointment”.

    The court confirms that landlords have the right to forfeit a lease if its tenant enters a CVA. What practical impact does this have on landlord claims?
    2019-09-25

    Can a CVA bind a landlord in respect of future rents? Is the landlord a creditor in respect of future rent? What about the right to forfeit; can a CVA modify that right? Is compromising rent under a CVA automatically unfair to landlords when other trade creditors are paid in full?

    These were some of the points considered by the Court in determining whether the Debenhams’ CVA (which had been challenged by landlords) should fail.

    One point of particular interest is whether reducing rents below market value in a CVA is automatically unfair to landlords?

    CVAs on the High Street Following the Collapse of BHS and Austin Reed
    2016-07-21

    The administrations of BHS and Austin Reed have been well publicised. Both had agreed CVAs before ending up in administration, prompting us to analyse the success rate of the CVA. Between 2009 and 2016, CVAs were entered into by JJB Sports plc, Focus Do It All, Discover Leisure, Blacks, Fitness First, Travelodge, Mamas and Papas, Austin Reed and BHS. Out of these nine companies, only three continue to trade (Fitness First, Travelodge and Mamas and Papas).

    The changing landscape of retail CVAs - are landlords taking back control?
    2019-06-19

    There has been an influx of company voluntary arrangements (“CVAs”) in recent times, as retailers fight to rescue their UK high street stores. Retail CVAs accounts for the highest proportion of CVAs at 19%. As more and more CVAs are approved, we consider some of the recent trends seen in the retail sector which showcase the flexibility of a CVA and reflect the demands of landlords whose support is vital to the continuing viability of a business.

    What is a CVA?
