    Turn the lights out
    2022-11-23

    As winter draws near, the days grow shorter, temperatures dip, and businesses will be turning on the lights longer and the heating up higher; all leading to higher energy bills. But, with continuing volatility in the energy market, how many businesses can afford to do so and will energy bills sound their death knell?

    How to contingency plan for insolvency in a global supply chain
    2022-11-18

    Early contingency planning can significantly reduce the shock of customer or supplier insolvency

    In this edition of our distressed supply chains series, we consider the three key factors in contingency planning for potential insolvency in the supply chain, being (i) early planning analysis and due diligence, (ii) regular monitoring of key supply chain relationships; and (iii) taking early action if something goes wrong.

    Turbulent Times for Hong Kong Airlines
    2022-11-18

    There has been no shortage of distressed airlines over the last 2.5 years as the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic reverberations wreaked havoc across the aviation sector and travel industry alike. Virgin Atlantic Airlines, Norwegian Air, Garuda, Malaysia Airlines (its leasing wing MAB Leasing Limited), AirAsia X and SAS are just some of the airlines to have gone through, or are in the process of, debt restructurings or deployment of asset and liability management strategies.

    Insolvenzanfechtung: Finanzielle Risiken solide absichern
    2022-11-21

    Unternehmen sind weiter unter Druck

    Seit Beginn der Covid-19 Pandemie Anfang 2020 ist unsere Wirtschaft im Krisenmodus. Immerhin haben staatliche Unterstützungsmaßnahmen die Anzahl der Unternehmensinsolvenzen während der Pandemie auf einem niedrigen Niveau gehalten. Zu erwähnen ist hier vor allem der zwischen den Kreditversicherern und der Bundesregierung abgestimmte Schutzschirm für Lieferketten: Der Bund hatte sich dazu verpflichtet, 2020 und 2021 eine Garantie für Entschädigungszahlungen der Kreditversicherer in Höhe von 30 Mrd. Euro zu übernehmen.

    Which issues affecting the insolvencies of failed energy companies has the court clarified?
    2022-11-16

    On 11th November 2022, Mr Justice Zacaroli handed down judgment on an application for directions made by the officeholders of ten different energy supply companies (“ESC” or “ESCs”) seeking clarification on issues arising in the insolvencies of the ESCs which had not previously been the subject of judicial consideration.

    In terms of quantum, the issues were valued at in excess of a hundred million pounds across the ten insolvencies and potentially many more millions of pounds on other ESC insolvencies not before the court.

    Extortionate Credit Transactions - can they be set aside?
    2022-11-14

    Setting aside a transaction on the basis that it was an extortionate credit transaction under the Insolvency Act 1986 (IA 1986 or the “Act”) is difficult. A bargain may be hard or even unreasonable, but that does not make it extortionate. The most important term to any credit transaction is usually the interest rate and that is most likely to be subject to scrutiny when considering whether or not a credit transaction contained grossly exorbitant terms.

    High Court considers contractual construction of irrevocable letter of credit incorporating UCP 600
    2022-11-15

    In the context of a trade finance dispute, the High Court has considered the contractual interpretation of an irrevocable letter of credit incorporating the commonly used code in the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits 600 (UCP 600), published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). In particular, the court held that the issuer’s interpretation of the letter of credit would, in practice, render the instrument revocable, which was inconsistent with the UCP and therefore not the proper construction.
