    The erosion of part 5.3A protections through the mechanism of the creditors’ trust - a parallel but essentially unregulated regime of administration
    2022-09-13

    Over the past decade, insolvency practitioners have developed an intrigue for the use of the creditors’ trust. Many have sought to structure their Deeds of Company Arrangement’s (DOCA) in a way that interfaces with a creditors’ trust through the mechanism of a creditors’ trust deed.

    Winding back the clock: Can a company have a winding-up order terminated because the company didn’t know about the application?
    2018-09-17

    What are your responsibilities if there is a change to your company’s registered office?

    The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Act) sets out an exhaustive (and even onerous) list of duties for Australian registered companies and their directors. Among these is the duty to notify the Australia Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) of a change to the company’s registered office. This must be done within 28 days of the change in location.

    The section 133(9) shakedown: how the law fails to protect caveators in cases of onerous covenants
    2018-06-25

    The operation of section 133 

    The law currently provides an easy out for trustees of a bankrupt, specifically in respect of real property  

    Section 133 of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth) (the Act) provides an option for the trustee in bankruptcy to disclaim real property where it is burdened by onerous covenants. This disclaimer is often exercised where the amount owed in the form of a mortgage and further caveats or covenants registered on title of the real property exceeds the value of the property.
