    2017-11-21

    In the first judgment under Singapore’s new ‘super priority’ DIP financing regime, the Singapore High Court declined to grant priority status to funds to be advanced to the Attilan Group.

    The judgment discusses how Singapore provisions align with established principles under US Bankruptcy Code provisions and case law.
