    Marshalling the troops when debtors become insolvent: A refresher on the equitable doctrine of marshalling
    2019-10-31

    The equitable doctrine of marshalling can protect the security interests of subordinate secured creditors when a debtor becomes insolvent.

    Marshalling is a neglected tool in the insolvency toolbox, but it can play an important role in protecting the security interests of subordinate secured creditors.

    NSW Conveyancing Act a useful tool for creditors and insolvency practitioners
    2018-08-30

    Section 37A can be used by future, contingent and prospective creditors to recover assets, meaning the transferor need not be indebted at the time of the transfer.

    Recovering assets from a debtor is usually done via the recovery provisions in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or theBankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth), but there is another option, at least in New South Wales, which offers creditors, insolvency practitioners and any prejudiced parties a useful alternative. A recent case demonstrates its advantages (Lardis v Lakis [2018] NSWCA 113; Clayton Utz acted for the successful creditor).

    No tenure for tenants of liquidated landlords
    2013-12-05

    The High Court has ruled that liquidators of lessors can disclaim leases, thus terminating the leasehold interests of tenants.

    However, yesterday's High Court decision in Willmott Growers Group Inc. v Willmott Forests Limited (Receivers and Managers Appointed) (In Liquidation) [2013] HCA 51 leaves open another issue: do liquidators need to get Court approval before exercising this power, and, if so, how easy or difficult would it be to get that approval?

    A liquidator's disclaimer of a lease extinguishes a tenant's leasehold interest
    2012-10-25

    Key Points:

    The decision will give liquidators the certainty of knowing that disclaimer of a lease means that a tenant no longer has any interest in the land.

    A recent decision of the Victorian Court of Appeal has confirmed that a liquidator of a landlord can disclaim a lease with full effect, so that the land is no longer encumbered by a tenant's interest.

    Victoria's new Farm Debt Mediation Scheme - how does it work?
    2012-10-25

    Key Points:

    There are various issues of which a secured creditor must be aware in seeking to either comply with its obligations or take steps to enforce a mortgage under the Act.

    Victoria's new Farm Debt Mediation Act 2011 (Vic) commenced operation on 1 December 2011 and is largely modelled on the equivalent New South Wales legislation, the Farm Debt Mediation Act 1994 (NSW).

    The 365(h) Effect: Guaranty Survives Rejection of Underlying Agreement
    2021-01-25

    In a recent decision, the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that the election of a tenant, under Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, to remain in possession of real property governed by a rejected lease causes a third-party guaranty on another rejected agreement to remain in effect, to the extent such agreement and the lease are part of an integrated transaction.
