    ABT Au­to In­vest­ments Ltd v Aa­pi­co In­vest­ment Pte Ltd – im­port­an­ce of agreeing com­mer­ci­al­ly re­a­sonable va­lua­ti­on me­thods

    In this Law-Now we discuss the recent case of ABT Auto Investments Ltd v Aapico Investment Pte Ltd [2022] EWHC 2839 (Comm) which involved the remedy of appropriation, an enforcement option available under the Financial Collateral Arrangements Regulations (“FCARs”).

    Su­pre­me Court ru­les on na­tu­re and ti­ming of di­rec­tors’ du­ty to con­sider credi­tors

    The Supreme Court’s long-awaited decision in the Sequana case (handed down on 5 October 2022)[1] is the first time that the UK’s highest court has been asked to consider the proposition that directors are, in certain circumstances, under a duty in respect of creditors’ interests as distinct from shareholders’ interests. The key takeaway points from this ‘momentous decision for company law’ (the words of Lady Arden who gave one of the leading judgments) are: English law does recognise a so-called “creditor duty” (also referred to as the “rule...

    The land registration elements of the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act (“ECTEA”) came into force on 5 September 2022, 5 weeks after the new Companies House Register of Overseas Entities (the “OE Register”) became operational on 1 August 2022.

    Re­struc­tu­ring Plans – Credi­tors “out of the mo­ney” are “out of the vo­te”

    Summary Restructuring Plans (“Plan(s)”) were introduced by the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (“CIGA”) as a rescue tool for companies in financial difficulty to compromise debt and other liabilities owed to secured and unsecured creditors and its members, with the court’s sanction. One of the main features of a Plan is the ability for the court to sanction the Plan (if certain conditions are satisfied) even if one or more classes of creditors and/or members vote against it; as happened in Re Virgin Active [2021]. Although the challenge to Virgin Active’s...
