Directors’ Duty Of Care In Times Of Financial Distress Following The Global Epidemic Crisis, Leon Yehuda Anidjar
Directors’ Duty Of Care In Times Of Financial Distress Following The Global Epidemic Crisis, Leon Yehuda Anidjar
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
The global COVID-19 pandemic is causing the large-scale end of life and severe human suffering globally. This massive public health crisis created a significant economic crisis and is reflected in a recession of global production and the collapse of confidence in the functions of markets. Corporations and boards of directors around the world are required to design specific strategies to tackle the negative consequences of the crisis. This is especially true for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that suffered tremendous economic loss, and their continued existence as ongoing concern is under considerable risk. Given these uncertain financial times, this Article …
Please Recognize Me: The United Kingdom Should Enact The Uncitral Model Lawon Recognition And Enforcement Of Insolvency-Related Judgments, John A. Churchill Jr.
Please Recognize Me: The United Kingdom Should Enact The Uncitral Model Lawon Recognition And Enforcement Of Insolvency-Related Judgments, John A. Churchill Jr.
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
Since 1995, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), has been developing tools to meet the challenges of having different insolvency laws managing a single cross-border insolvency. By 1997, UNCITRAL’s Working Group V completed the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency. By September 2020, the original model law has been adopted by 48 countries. In Rubin v. Eurofinance SA, the U.K. Supreme Court cited a lack of authority to recognize a U.S. insolvency-related judgment in the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency. As a result of this decision, UNCITRAL’s Working Group V developed the Model Law on Recognition and Enforcement …
Symposium: Consumer Welfare Market Structure And Political Power, Edward J. Janger
Symposium: Consumer Welfare Market Structure And Political Power, Edward J. Janger
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
Two competing visions dominate the fields of antitrust and consumer protection: neo-liberal and progressive. The neo-classical approach is associated with Robert Bork and the Law and Economics Movement. The progressive strand is older, identified with Brandeis and early 20th Century social reform. As a matter of chronology the Brandeisian view dominated into the 1970s, but from 1980, until recently, the Borkian law and economics approach has been in ascendancy in Congress, the academy, and in the courts. Technological change and events in the broader economy have caused the politics and the academic focus to shift. The financial crisis of 2008-09 …
Consumers' Declining Power In The Fintech Auto Loan Market, Pamela Foohey
Consumers' Declining Power In The Fintech Auto Loan Market, Pamela Foohey
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
Automobiles have become part of America’s infrastructure. For most people, having access to a car is crucial to their livelihoods and they will take on significant amounts of debt to purchase vehicles. Auto debt is unlike any other consumer debt, both in its structure, which allows creditors to easily seize collateral, and in its lack of regulation. The unique and lucrative nature of auto debt has not gone unnoticed by lenders or by companies leveraging fintech to offer people new ways to purchase cars and car loans. This Article assesses the evolving marketplace for auto sales, leasing, and loans to …
Door Shut And Ears Plugged: How Consumer Reporting Casts Identity Theft Victims Out Of Financial Society And How The Law Can Be Harmonized To Bring Them Back In, Ryan Bolger
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) are the gatekeepers to the American economy. As the chief informants for prospective lenders, landlords, and employers, they exert immense power over the day-to-day decisions of who gets what. Despite these high stakes, the CRAs run consumer reporting as an automated electronic process that causes a lot of reporting errors, disqualifying consumers from essential goods, services, and opportunities. This is painfully true in the context of identity theft, where perverse incentives pollute the integrity of consumer reporting, piling undue harm onto identity theft victims. The law provides a remedy for this problem, but circuit courts are …

Subchapter V: A Product Of The Small Business Reorganization Act Of 2019, Seth Snyder
Subchapter V: A Product Of The Small Business Reorganization Act Of 2019, Seth Snyder
Law Student Works
The Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (SBRA) went into effect on February 19, 2020 to provide small businesses bankruptcy relief that was previously untenable under a traditional chapter 11 reorganization. The SBRA created subchapter V of chapter 11, codified as 11 U.S.C. §§ 1181 – 1195, that is available for small business debtors with debts less than $2,725,625. The debt limit has been temporarily increased to $7,500,000 until March 26, 2021 by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act).
The timing of the new law could not have been better considering how small businesses have …

Enough Is As Good As A Feast, Noah C. Chauvin
Enough Is As Good As A Feast, Noah C. Chauvin
Seattle University Law Review
Ipse Dixit, the podcast on legal scholarship, provides a valuable service to the legal community and particularly to the legal academy. The podcast’s hosts skillfully interview guests about their legal and law-related scholarship, helping those guests communicate their ideas clearly and concisely. In this review essay, I argue that Ipse Dixit has made a major contribution to legal scholarship by demonstrating in its interview episodes that law review articles are neither the only nor the best way of communicating scholarly ideas. This contribution should be considered “scholarship,” because one of the primary goals of scholarship is to communicate new ideas.

Developing A Corporate Insolvency Framework For Nigeria., Chioma Ezinne Adiele
Master of Laws Research Papers Repository
An important indicator of a country’s economic strength is the resilience of its businesses, as evidenced by their ability to survive insolvency, reorganize, and return to profitability. Before a rescue process is commenced, it is important to determine the viability of the company to avoid deferred liquidations. When a viable corporation is insolvent, the going concern of the company should be preserved because the corporation is worth more to its creditors alive than dead. When a corporation is not viable, the swift sale of the assets as a going concern has the same purpose of rescuing the business to maximize …

Consent To Student Loan Bankruptcy Discharge, John P. Hunt
Consent To Student Loan Bankruptcy Discharge, John P. Hunt
Indiana Law Journal
As the Department of Education reconsiders its rules governing consent to discharge of federal student loans in bankruptcy, this Article argues for the first time that the Department should approach the problem specifically as an operator of programs to promote education and benefit students, rather than as an entity interested only in debt collection. This Article shows that the Department’s rules to date have treated whether to consent to discharge primarily as a pecuniary issue, without regard to the educational goals of the student loan programs. For example, the Department apparently has never considered whether making it difficult to discharge …
Bank Resolution And Creditor Distribution: The Tension Shaping Global Banking –Part Ii: The Cross-Border Dimension, David Ramos, Javier Solana
Bank Resolution And Creditor Distribution: The Tension Shaping Global Banking –Part Ii: The Cross-Border Dimension, David Ramos, Javier Solana
University of Miami Business Law Review
New bank resolution frameworks that aim to address the complex task of managing the collapse of a large financial institution stand in considerable tension with basic principles and policy objectives of insolvency law. In this two-part study, we present an analytical framework that aims at helping us understand how this tension can undermine the effectiveness of the new bank resolution frameworks. In the first part of this article, we introduced our three-layered framework and explored its first two layers: the group dimension, and the duality of crisis-prevention and crisis-management tools. In this Part II, we explore the last layer: the …

Solvency As A Fundamental Constraint On Lolr Policy For Independent Central Banks: Principles, History, Law, Sir Paul M. W. Tucker
Solvency As A Fundamental Constraint On Lolr Policy For Independent Central Banks: Principles, History, Law, Sir Paul M. W. Tucker
Journal of Financial Crises
This paper follows up earlier work advocating a principled modernization of doctrines for central bank lender-of-last-resort policies and operations. It argues for a new Fundamental Constraint on such authorities: namely, “the principle that central banks should not lend to firms that they know (or should know) to be fundamentally bust or broken.” Tucker supports this with commentary from various peers, a review of principles underlying bankruptcy law and resolution schemes, and by deconstructing other common counterarguments. Centrally, he argues that when central banks breach the Fundamental Constraint, they distribute resources to short-term creditors at the expense of longer-term creditors, …

The Low Usage Of Bankruptcy Procedures: A Cultural Problem? Lessons From Spain, Aurelio Gurrea-Martínez
The Low Usage Of Bankruptcy Procedures: A Cultural Problem? Lessons From Spain, Aurelio Gurrea-Martínez
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
While filing for bankruptcy does not seem appealing for any debtor regardless of the jurisdiction, the reluctance to use the bankruptcy system varies across countries. This article explores the underlying reasons and economic effects of the low usage of bankruptcy procedures in Spain, where the rate of business bankruptcies is one of the lowest in the world. Some authors have argued that the low usage of bankruptcy procedures in Spain is due to a “cultural” problem faced by Spanish entrepreneurs. According to this hypothesis, the lack of a “bankruptcy culture” makes Spanish entrepreneurs afraid to use the bankruptcy system. In …

Cryptocurrencies, Cybersecurity And Bankruptcy Law: How Global Issues Are Globalizing National Remedies, Renato Mangano
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
The market for cryptocurrencies is interspersed with cases of loss, theft and fraud and a new transnational practice in bankruptcy law is emerging whereby cryptocurrency exchanges compensate the injured users on a collective basis. This paper will argue: first, that this trend has transplanted into Asia and Europe the US idea according to which bankruptcy law can be employed to avoid mass litigation; secondly, that this trend has transcended the debate about the characterization of digital assets, including the concerns of those scholars who maintain that digital coins cannot be objects of property; and thirdly that – since this practice …
Resolving Corporate Insolvencies In China: The Gap Between Law And Reality, Dr. Zhang Zinian
Resolving Corporate Insolvencies In China: The Gap Between Law And Reality, Dr. Zhang Zinian
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
This article examines how corporate insolvencies in China, the second largest economy, are handled under the current legislation, the China Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of 2006. Relying on the fresh empirical data arising from the first ten years on the use of China’s three insolvency procedures, reorganization, composition and liquidation, this article reveals the huge gap between the law in the books and the law in action, arguing that the implementation of this law in China perhaps has not achieved the legislative objectives. The constitutional and institutional weaknesses affecting the application of this law are analyzed
Small Business And Bankruptcy: Recent Changes In Kosovo And The United States Compared, Bruce A. Markell
Small Business And Bankruptcy: Recent Changes In Kosovo And The United States Compared, Bruce A. Markell
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
United States, small businesses account for 99.7% of all employers, and about 47.3% of private sector employment.1 In the European Union (EU) non-financial business sector, SMEs accounted for 99.8% of all enterprises.2 These enterprises employed almost ninety-eight million people—66.6% of total employment—in the EU.
SMEs are variously defined. In the United States, until recently the definition of an SME was an enterprise that employed less than 500 individuals.4 In the EU, SMEs are defined as businesses which employ less than 250 staff and have an annual turnover of less than €50 million, or whose balance sheet total is less than …
Impact Of The Italian Business Crisis And Insolvency Code On Organizational Structures In Msmes, Alessandra Zanardo
Impact Of The Italian Business Crisis And Insolvency Code On Organizational Structures In Msmes, Alessandra Zanardo
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
In September 2021, the Italian Bankruptcy Law will be replaced by a new comprehensive Act, the so-called Business Crisis and Insolvency Code.
Two topics have immediately become the “mantra” of this important reform: a) the introduction into the domestic legal framework of early warning tools and alert procedures, along the lines of the French experience; and b) the introduction of a specific obligation on the entrepreneur or the management body of collective entities to implement suitable measures or establish appropriate organizational structures to prevent future insolvency and preserve the business continuity.
These measures are closely related, insofar as the obligation …

Revising The Debt Limit For “Small Business Debtors”: The Legislative Half-Measure Of The Small Business Reorganization Act, Michael C. Blackmon
Revising The Debt Limit For “Small Business Debtors”: The Legislative Half-Measure Of The Small Business Reorganization Act, Michael C. Blackmon
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
Bankruptcy law changed drastically in 2019 with the passage of several bills. This Note will examine two of them. First, the Family Farmer Relief Act of 2019 raised the debt limit of the family farmer from $4,411,400 to $10,000,000. This enables more financially distressed family farmers to be eligible for Chapter 12 relief, a reorganizational tool designed for farmers. Second, the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 created Subchapter V – Small Business Debtor Reorganization in Chapter 11. This new Subchapter streamlined the reorganization process for small business debtors by removing roadblocks which often derail a reorganization of a small …

Insolvency Law In Times Of Covid-19, Aurelio Gurrea-Martinez
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The international spread of the coronavirus is not only generating dramatic consequences from a social perspective but it is also heavily affecting the global economy. For this reason, governments, financial regulators and international organizations are responding to the coronavirus with a package of legal, economic and financial measures. Among the legal responses included in these packages, many countries, such as Australia, Belgium, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Luxembourg, India, Italy, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have proposed or implemented temporary changes to their insolvency frameworks. This paper starts by discussing …
