Checklist of factors which may (and may not) fracture the class in a scheme of arrangement or restructuring plan

Checklist of factors which may (and may not) fracture the class in a scheme of arrangement or restructuring plan The below tables provide an overview of: (i) various factors that do not create separate classes (ie do not fracture the class) and (ii) various factors that have been considered to create separate classes (ie fracture the class) in Part 26 scheme and Part 26A restructuring plan cases. Judges have found that the caselaw relating to schemes is equally applicable to restructuring plans on many issues (see Re PizzaExpress (convening) and Re Virgin Atlantic), including class formation. However, the Court of Appeal in Adler confirms that cross-class cramdown (CCCD) in restructuring plans does require different considerations (though note that leave to appeal to the Supreme Court has been granted); see Practice Note: Cross-Class Cram Down under a Part 26A restructuring plan. As a word of caution, it is important to recognise that the class analysis is very fact-specific and it is possible that another judge, faced with a...

Implementing a CPO—notice to treat and General Vesting Declaration

Implementing a CPO—notice to treat and General Vesting Declaration Context A compulsory purchase order (CPO) which has been confirmed becomes operative on the date on which the notice of its confirmation is first published, unless it is subject to special parliamentary procedure (see Practice Note: Compulsory purchase—special categories of land). The notice of confirmation must be issued within six weeks of the date of the CPO being confirmed, see Practice Note: Consideration and confirmation of a compulsory purchase order, including making objections, public inquiries, hearings and written representations. However, the confirmation of a CPO does not vest title in the land subject to the CPO in the acquiring authority, nor does it give the acquiring authority power to take possession of that land. The acquiring authority must implement the CPO by taking a positive step to exercise the powers conferred on it by the CPO. Acquiring authorities will need to have demonstrated reasonable attempts to acquire land by agreement in the shadow of a CPO, having ensured...

How do you terminate a deed poll relating to a trust? Would all of the beneficiaries need to agree to this?

How do you terminate a deed poll relating to a trust? Would all of the beneficiaries need to agree to this? A deed poll is a deed made by and expressing the active intention of one party only, or made by two or more persons joining together in expressing a common active intention of them all. Settlements can be created by deed poll. However, it is more common for them to be created by a deed to which the intending settlor, the intended trustees of the settlement, and sometimes, some of the beneficiaries, are parties. For the purposes of this query, it is assumed that the terms of the deed poll involved the creation or variation of interests under a settlement and that some or all of the persons who

Change of a child’s name in cases of serious sexual abuse (BC v A Local Authority)

Family analysis: A 15-year-old girl, who was subject to a care order, made an application to change her forename and surname because both had a strong negative association with her father, in circumstances where findings had been made that the father had raped and sexually assaulted her. The mother opposed the application, contending that the child could be known by the mother’s surname, which was not the same as that of the father. The local authority opposed the application on the basis that the child could use her preferred name without changing it legally. The local authority submitted that changing her name legally at this stage would not be in the child’s best interests, there was a real risk that the child’s relationship with her family would break down should she legally change her name and the child’s case was vastly different to the facts before the court in Re S (Change of Surname). The father played no part in the proceedings. Poonam Bhari, barrister at 3PB Chambers,...
