Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely new work evaluates the law regarding pre-insolvency proceedings, and in particular, the terms of the 2017 EU Directive. Setting the law in context, the book provides a conceptual framework for ideal practice, illustrating the implications of the new regime with specific practicalexamples.The book features a comprehensive discussion of the key principles underlying restructuring proceedings and explains the purpose of, and justification for, pre-insolvency proceedings. It provides answers to a number of important issues that are still undecided and the subject of debate.In particular, the book provides detailed analysis of the system of voting in classes, and it offers an in-depth discussion of the appropriate criteria for confirmation and cram-down together with consideration of the little-understood underlying economic issues. It also includes analysis of the keyaspects of valuation and the applicable valuation standards in the context of restructuring, much needed as the incidence of judicial valuation arises in the context of cram-down.A comparative analysis and critique of UK schemes of arrangement and US Chapter 11 procedure is also included, giving readers a good understanding of the key features of both systems and enabling them to identify and learn from the differences. The author also proposes an outline of idealpre-insolvency proceedings, setting out general and specific requirements for ensuring flexibility, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Insolvency Law argues that the most important development in contemporary insolvency law and practice is the shift towards a rescue culture rather than full creditor satisfaction. This book is the first to specifically examine the rise of the pre-pack approach, which permits debtor companies to formulate a clear pre-arranged exit before entering into formal insolvency proceedings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vanessa Finch provides an interesting look at corporate insolvency laws and processes. She adopts an interdisciplinary approach to place two questions at the centre of her discussion. Are current UK laws and procedures efficient, expert, accountable and fair? Are fundamentally different conceptions of insolvency law needed for it to develop in a way that serves corporate and broader social ends? Topics considered in this wide-ranging book include different ways of financing companies, causes of corporate failure and prospects for designing rescue-friendly processes. Also examined are alternative asset distribution of failed companies, allocations of insolvency risks and effects of insolvency on a company's directors and employees. Finch argues that changes of approach are needed if insolvency law is to develop with coherence and purpose. This book will appeal to academics and students at advanced undergraduate and graduate level, and to legal practitioners throughout the common law world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume is based on the European Law Institute's (ELI) project 'Rescue of Business in Insolvency Law'. The project ran from 2013 to 2017 under the auspices of the ELI and was conducted by Bob Wessels and Stephan Madaus, who were assisted by Gert-Jan Boon. The study sought to design (elements of) a legal framework that will enable the further development of coherent and functional rules for business rescue in Europe. This includes certain statutory procedures that could better enable parties to negotiate solutions where a business becomes financially distressed. Such a framework also includes rules to determine in which procedures and under which conditions an enforceable solution can be imposed upon creditors and other stakeholders despite their lack of consent. The project had a broad scope, and extended to consider frameworks that can be used by (non-financial) businesses out of court, and in a pre-insolvency context. Part I of this book, the ELI Instrument as approved by the ELI Council and General Assembly, features 115 recommendations on a wide variety of themes affected by the rescue of financially distressed businesses, such as the legal rules for professions and courts, treatment and ranking of creditors' claims, contract, corporate and labour law as well as laws relating to transaction avoidance. Part II consists of national reports that sketch the legal landscape in 13 States and of an 'Inventory Report on International Recommendations from Standard-Setting Organisations', both of which provided insight for the drafting of the Instrument. This volume is designed to assist those involved in a process of law reform and those setting standards for soft law in the business rescue context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper provides a cutting edge look at the ability of existing (and soon to be enacted) legal structures to restructure a financially troubled global business. The basic problem rests on the simple fact that legal systems are country-specific, while businesses operate world-wide. To avoid ripping a viable business apart on geographic lines, debtors and creditors have searched for legal systems that might apply beyond any one nation's boundaries.A global business has a choice of reorganization tools. At a basic level, this choice involves chapter 11 as contrasted with the English scheme of arrangement-chapter 15 combination package. Basically English law buttressed by an American "ancillary" chapter 15 bankruptcy case.But in recent years, leading jurisdictions have proposed (and in some cases even enacted) enhanced “pre-insolvency” procedures, that graft more the features of a full chapter 11 process onto the basic UK scheme architecture. We look at three new procedures in this paper: the pre-insolvency procedures of the Netherlands, Singapore, and England's own proposal for a new “chapter 11 lite” insolvency system.We also address the central reason why the chapter 15 “plus” approach to reorganization will tend to prevail over chapter 11. Among other things, we note that most of the foreign procedures that will pair with chapter 15 entail substantially less “process” than chapter 11 itself, which is quite abundant in process. Whether the “chapter 15 plus” package has too little process, or simply less process, is unclear.While a reduction in the formality of the process might be unattractive from the creditor perspective, from the debtor perspective there are obvious advantages. And it is the debtor, after all, who will largely drive the choice of procedures. Moreover, we observe that debtors are not apt to pay for such moves ex ante - inasmuch as the pricing mechanism is apt to have difficulty transmitting the costs of reorganization back to the point of issuance in any meaningful way.In short, we explain why chapter 11 seems to be losing a global economic race that it should be winning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This set deals with the problems generated by those cases of insolvency (either of an individual or of a company) where the presence of contacts with more than one system of law brings into operation the principles and methods of private international law (also known as conflict of laws). Part I of the main work is mainly devoted to an examination of the body of rules and practice that has evolved in England during the course of the past two-and-a-half centuries, and surveys the current state of the law derived from a blend of statutory and case authorities. Contrasting approaches under a selection of foreign systems -- principally Australia, Canada, France and the USA -- are examined by way of comparison. There are up-to-date accounts of the circumstances under which insolvency proceedings can be opened in respect of debtors which are not primarily based in England, and of the grounds on which English courts will recognize foreign insolvency proceedings and give assistance to the foreign representative of the debtor's estate. Part II of the main work explores the progress towards the creation of international arrangements to co-ordinate and rationalize the conduct of insolvency proceedings which have cross-border features, particularly where the debtor is capable of being subjected to concurrent proceedings in two or more jurisdictions. Central to the developments described in detail in this Part are the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings and the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency. This set includes the supplement to the second edition, which covers key developments in case law and legislation in the subject up to October 2006, and is an essential purchase for all who have already bought the main work. It includes the full text of the Cross-Border Insolvency Regulations 2006, along with commentary on the regulations. The supplement also includes the text of Council Regulation 694/2006, amending EC Regulation 1346/2000 on insolvency proceedings, and references to key developments in case law, including Eurofood IFSC Ltd, Daisytek ISA, and Cambridge Gas Transport Corp v Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Navigator Holdings plc. The commentary on case developments links back to the relevant paragraph in the main work. New to this Edition: - New supplement updating the second edition with commentary on recent developments, to October 2006 - Major recasting of chapter 6 (formerly dealing with the (by then) dormant EC Convention on Insolvency Proceedings) now giving an account of the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings, in force since 31 May 02 - Adjustments throughout the book to explain the impact of the Regulation on other aspects of law and practice - Full account is taken of statutory and case law developments since 1998 - There is a new chapter assessing other international developments since 1998 including the ALI Transnational Insolvency Project; the World Bank Principles and Guidelines; and the UNCITRAL Legislative Guide on Insolvency Law (completed 2004)
