    中英企业交易中的“五行”元素(I)
    2019-10-16

    中英企业交易中的“五行”元素——第一部分:金

    在与向英国供货的国际公司合作的过程中,我们发现了一些常见问题。本系列五篇文章围绕“五行”的各个元素展开探讨,指出了供应商在和英国客户做生意过程中面临的关键风险,以及供应商如何才能最好地保护自己,从而确保其商务活动和商业关系的和谐。第一个元素“金”确保供应商得到应得的货款,避免或尽量减少风险、困难和难以解决的困境。

    金:及时获得全额付款,让您的业务和商业关系发展壮大

    在协助我们的国际贸易客户处理的各种事项中,最常见的是追款。因此,我们建议所有供应商在签订合同或根据标准商业条款向客户供货时,确保在客户违约的情况下尽可能让自己处于最有利的境地。

    对供应商而言,最有利的索赔是财产索赔。根据所有权保留条款,在客户未付清货款前,供应商仍对交付给客户的货物拥有所有权。如果客户破产,供应商有权收回货物(或收取货款)。

    其他合同保护措施包括:

    中英企业交易中的“五行”元素(III)
    2019-10-16

    在与向英国供货的国际公司合作的过程中,我们发现了一些常见问题。前几篇文章探讨了供应商可采用的合同付款保护措施。在“五行”系列第三篇文章中,我们将以“水”元素为主题,阐释当客户面临财务困难带来的不确定性及正式破产程序的严冬时会出现什么情况。

    水:了解在客户破产情况下的情势及此时供应商享有的权利

    在我们提供法律服务的供应商中,其大多数客户都是英国有限公司。供应商的客户在遭遇财务困难后会根据英国法律进入破产程序。因此,对我们的国际客户而言,明白自己的客户破产对自己意味着什么,这非常重要。

    客户进入管理程序,意味着有机会保持业务的持续经营。在此种情况下,客户公司受管理人控制,管理人的目标之一是满足公司债权人的要求。并不能保证所有债权人都能得到全额偿付,因为这主要取决于公司资产的价值。然而,部分债权人(如员工和税务机关——英国税务海关总署)会优先于无担保债权人受偿。如果在任何时候确定无法继续保持业务的持续经营,则管理程序可转为清算程序。许多管理程序以出售业务和资产告终,这可以通过一个“预打包”过程予以实现(即在任命管理人前安排出售,以促成这笔交易)。在此种情况下,债务仍由公司承担,从出售所得中偿还,但不可能对新的资产所有者进行追索。

    Five Elements for Chinese Companies trading with UK counterparts Part 3: Water
    2019-10-17

    In our work with international companies supplying goods to the UK, we see a number of common issues arising regularly. In our previous articles we looked at contractual payment protections for our clients. In this third of five articles based on the five elements of the Wu Xing, we take the theme of Water and explain what happens if a customer faces the fluid uncertainties of financial difficulties and descends into the winter of a formal insolvency process.

    Water: understand what happens and your rights if your customer enters insolvency.

    Are landlords "unfairly prejudiced" by tenant CVAs?
    2019-09-30

    Retail Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs) are becoming an increasingly popular means of minimising liabilities and creating breathing space for tenants during a difficult trading environment on the High Street. Where does this leave landlords?

    Thomas Cook - the financial impact of failure beyond the holidaymakers
    2019-10-02

    Since the news of Thomas Cook’s demise a lot of focus has been on its travel customers. But beyond repatriating stranded holiday makers, the impact of large scale insolvencies such as Thomas Cook, Carillion and British Steel can be far reaching.

    Those relying on the likes of Thomas Cook for business may also face financial distress as the impact of its insolvency ripples down the supply chain. Potentially impacting suppliers of goods and services, those who relied on Thomas Cook’s business outside of the UK, employees and landlords.

    Global Insight - Issue 30, October 2019: Getting insolvency proceedings recognized in the UK: Have you thought about section 426?
    2019-10-07

    In a world of multinational businesses, ever-changing consumer trends and political uncertainties, insolvencies and financial restructurings of a cross-border nature are a common occurrence. Officeholders therefore frequently need to consider options that allow, at the very least, recognition of their appointment in the jurisdictions where the insolvent debtor has (or had) operations, assets or other relevant connections.

    Insolvency Update - Using winding up procedure to collect a debt: Sell Your Car With Us Ltd v Anil Sareen [2019] EWHC 2332
    2019-10-07

    The recent case of Sell Your Car With Us Ltd v Anil Sareen will be of interest to practitioners in Corporate Insolvency as it provides a useful reminder that there is no strict rule that the winding up procedure is inapt for mere debt collection.

    The Facts:

    The creditor (“AS”) had engaged the debtor company (“SYC”) to sell his Maserati Levante sports car and on completion of the sale to deposit the proceeds in his bank account. Communications were agreed to be conducted by email.

    Re-Assessing Directors' Liability for Unlawful Dividends
    2019-10-07

    Revisiting over 150 years of case law, the High Court has resolved a question on which both the courts and textbooks had given conflicting answers: is a director's liability for payment of a dividend which is unlawful as a result of incorrect accounts fault-based or strict?
