Debt relief orders (DROs)—checklist

Debt relief orders (DROs)—checklist Debt relief orders Debt relief orders (DROs) are an alternative to bankruptcy and are dealt with in sections 251A–251X and Schedule 4ZA to the Insolvency Act 1986 (IA 1986), and supplemented by the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 (IR 2016), SI 2016/1024, Pt 9. They provide protection from debts by prohibiting further legal process against the debtor without the court's permission and, after a year, discharges the debtor from those debts. The big difference between a DRO and bankruptcy is that DROs are available only to debtors with no substantial assets and no income over and above what is necessary for the debtor's 'reasonable needs', and there are no provisions for the collection, realisation and distribution of the debtor's estate on the basis there will be nothing to distribute. As set out in R (on the application of Payne) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, DROs are a 'a new and simplified way of wiping the slate clean for debtors who are...

In-house lawyers: enforcing against insolvent companies and individuals—checklist

In-house lawyers: enforcing against insolvent companies and individuals—checklist Your method of recovery will depend on whether the company or individual is close to insolvency (pre-insolvency proceeding) or whether a formal insolvency proceeding has been entered (such as administration or liquidation for a company or bankruptcy for an individual). Pre-insolvency proceeding • if the debt is disputed you will have to issue a claim form and sue the company or individual in court • if the debt is not disputed by the company (and you do not suspect the company of dissipating its assets or putting them beyond the reach of creditors), consider issuing a statutory demand which may then form the basis of a winding-up petition where the debt is valued at £750 or more.

What is the position of a security holder if the company that created the security is dissolved?

What is the position of a security holder if the company that created the security is dissolved? This Q&A focuses on the impact the dissolution of a security provider can have on the ability of a security holder to effectively enforce its security. It also considers the position of a receiver appointed by the security holder prior to the dissolution of the relevant company. Summary If a security provider is dissolved as a matter of English law it is normally still possible for the security holder to enforce the security it holds by exercising the mortgagee’s power of sale. There may be circumstances in any particular case that make an application to restore the dissolved company to the register desirable to protect the security holder’s position. Circumstances where this issue commonly arises The problems associated with a security provider being dissolved while security is in force occur most often in real estate finance and other asset finance transactions. Typically, these issues arise where a special purpose...

How might the European Commission proposal for new conflict of law rules for assigned claims impact the secondary loan market?

How might the European Commission proposal for new conflict of law rules for assigned claims impact the secondary loan market? Summary This Q&A refers to the European Commission’s proposal for a Regulation on the law applicable to the third-party effects of assignments (the Proposal) published on 12th March 2018, which could have an impact on the market for trading participations in syndicated and bilateral loans. Both of the Loan Market Association (LMA) and the City of London Law Society made representations asking for the Proposal to be shelved or at least amended to accommodate current market practice in the secondary loan market. Their representations are available on their respective websites. It is fair to say that in its original form the Proposal would have disrupted the secondary loan market by making due diligence on the part of a buyer much more complicated for the reasons given below. The UK indicated on 9 July 2018, shortly after publication of this Q&A, that it would not opt in...
