Rehman, Obaid Ur, Zhou, Zihan, Wu, Kai, and Li, Wen
- Abstract
We examine the impact of bankruptcy court establishment (BCE) on corporate acquisition activities using hand-collected data of city-level BCE in China from 2008 to 2020. The results show that BCE promotes corporate acquisition activities largely due to mitigated information asymmetry and decreased deal inefficiency. Our results highlight the important role of judiciary reform in corporate acquisition decisions in emerging markets. • The impact of bankruptcy court establishment on corporate acquisition is examined. • Bankruptcy court establishment promotes corporate acquisition activities. • The effect is due to reduced information asymmetry and decreased deal inefficiency.

4. Bankruptcy court establishment and corporate risk-taking.

Zhang, Yue and Wu, Kai
- Abstract
This study examines the influence of bankruptcy courts on the risk-taking behavior of listed firms in China between 2002 and 2019. The establishment of bankruptcy courts discourages listed firms from taking excessive risk. This effect is more pronounced in firms with financing constraints, high market valuations, and those operating in regions with a weaker rule of law. Overall, our findings indicate that establishing bankruptcy courts benefits creditors' rights and restrains corporate risk-taking. • The influence of bankruptcy courts on corporate risk-taking is examined. • The establishment of bankruptcy courts discourages firms from taking excessive risk. • The effect is more pronounced in firms with financial constraints. • The effect is also stronger in areas with weak rule of law.

11. The Railway Mania.

Robb, George
- Abstract
Before the Railway Mania of 1845–46, large-scale financial fraud had been episodic, appearing dramatically in speculative disasters such as the South Sea Bubble of 1720 or the 1825 Commercial Crisis. With the coming of the railways, however, big business and business fraud were here to stay. Railways pioneered the joint-stock company form a half-century before it became general in most other fields. In the words of Harold Perkin, “big business on the scale we know it today began with the railways in the nineteenth century.” So too did white-collar crime. Railways transformed English finance as surely as they changed the face of the English landscape. The London Gazette, which published all Parliamentary schemes for companies, had been, previous to 1845, a slender volume. Due to the enormous proliferation of railway companies in 1845, the Gazette swelled to over 4,000 pages. It would never be light weight again. In 1845 Parliament sanctioned 2,816 miles of new railway line, an amount equal to all the miles sanctioned between 1821 and 1843. An additional 4,540 miles were sanctioned in 1846. At its peak in 1846–47, railway expenditure absorbed almost 7% of national income. Railways broadened the base of investment. For the first time the Stock Exchange dealt significantly with company shares instead of government bonds. The Mania of the mid-forties drew in the whole nation of investors. The aristocracy and gentry became heavily involved in railway shareholding since they were often given large blocks of shares to secure their goodwill for lines crossing their estates. At mid-century, Thomas Tooke observed: “In every street of every town persons were to be found who were holders of Railway shares.” [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 11.101/05 Law, when dealing with the bankruptcy of commercial companies, as basic postulates invokes the principles of universality and indivisibility of the bankruptcy court, beyond the principle of par conditio creditorum. However, the Labour Court, disregarding the purpose of the Bankruptcy Law, and in flagrant violation of the mentioned principles, insists on proceeding with the executions of the labor processes proposed against the bankrupt company, surpassing the limits of their competence, thus so completely arbitrary, piercing the corporate veil in order to reach the personal patrimony of the shareholders of the company. This practice may prejudice the bankruptcy, since, if ascertained the liability of bankrupt partners, they will no longer have patrimony to be raised by the bankruptcy, because all of its property have been realized in favor only of labor creditors, thus offending the equality that all the creditors must be treated., A lei 11.101/05, ao tratar da falência das sociedades empresárias, invoca como postulados básicos os princípios da universalidade e indivisibilidade do juízo falimentar, além do princípio da par conditio creditorum. Ocorre que a Justiça do Trabalho, desrespeitando o propósito da Lei Falimentar, e em flagrante violação aos princípios mencionados, insiste em prosseguir com as execuções das ações trabalhistas propostas contra a sociedade empresária falida, ultrapassando os limites de sua competência, portanto, de forma completamente arbitrária, promovendo a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica de forma a atingir o patrimônio pessoal dos sócios da falida. Tal expediente pode causar prejuízos à massa falida, uma vez que, caso apurada a responsabilidade dos sócios falidos, estes já não mais terão patrimônio a ser arrecadado pela massa falida, ou seja, todo o seu patrimônio já terá sido excutido em prol unicamente dos credores trabalhistas, ofendendo, assim, a paridade com que devem ser tratados os credores

The article discusses the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court on Stern v. Marshall, informally known as the Anna Nicole Smith Case. The high court argued that a bankruptcy court did not have the constitutional authority to enter final judgment on a state-law-based counterclaim sounding in tort, regardless of whether the claim fit the statutory definition of a core proceeding under the U.S. Constitution.

Doing Business sheds light on how easy or difficult it is for a local entrepreneur to open and run a small to medium-size business when complying with relevant regulations. It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 11 areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and labor market regulation. Doing Business 2016 presents the data for the labor market regulation indicators in an annex. The report does not present rankings of economies on labor market regulation indicators or include the topic in the aggregate distance to frontier score or ranking on the ease of doing business. This regional profile presents the Doing Business indicators for economies in European Union (EU). It also shows the regional average, the best performance globally for each indicator and data for the following comparator regions: East Asia and the Pacific (EAP), Europe and Central Asia (ECA), Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Latin America and OECD High Income.. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2015 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January–December 2014).

倒産は様々な法律問題を惹起し、多くの人々に影響を与える。倒産処理のゴールである清算・再生へと至るには、債権の存否や否認権などの個別的な関連紛争の解決も実現しなければならない。Vis attractiva concursusとは、倒産裁判所が関連紛争について裁判管轄権を有するところであり、わが国の倒産法もこの原則を採用しているが、独特の形になっている。その現在状況を分析し、問題点を明らかにし改善のための提言を導く。, This article focuses on "Vis attractiva concursus" principle. Bankrupt Procedure causes many civil proceedings which related to avoidance, Bankruptcy claims, and Officer's Liability. Their proceedings shall be subject to the Bankruptcy Court.

Bank loans can become non-performing because of problems with the borrower s financial health, problems with the design or implementation of lender protection features, or both. In ascertaining how to deal with a problem loan, it is important to distinguish between a borrower s ability to pay and willingness to pay, Making this distinction is not always easy and requires effort. This manual was written as a guide for lending institution staff dealing with non-performing loans (NPLs) extended to corporations and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It deals with both ad hoc and systemic financial distress and delves into how borrower problems may have arisen in the first place. It provides guidance to lending institutions staff responsible for handling individual problem loans and to senior managers responsible for organizing portfolio-wide asset resolution.

Repo markets are an essential component of liquid Government debt markets, acting as a transmission belt between money and debt markets, as well as serving to conduct key functions for the efficient operation of debt markets. These include, among others, credit risk management, funding debt portfolios, playing the yield curve, and covering short positions and settlement fails. The hybrid nature of a repo between a collateralized loan and a full transfer of ownership makes it a very versatile instrument for a broad range of market participants with very different business models. However, this is at the same time the reason for its complexity. This note addresses the legal, structural, accounting, tax, regulatory and infrastructure factors that are decisive for repo market development. The legal and infrastructure factors that underpin repo markets functionality are evolving ones and may be different depending on the country. The perspective adopted in this note intends to provide a balanced account of both the conceptual issues in each topic and relevant country cases, with the objective of providing policy makers with analytical tools to address their country specific context.

The Serbian insurance sector remains small and underdeveloped. Over the last three years, the market experienced very little growth in real terms mainly due to weak economic growth, premium payment difficulties in the industrial sector, which forced many corporate policyholders to cancel their insurance, and fierce price competition among the growing number of players. With consumption of 76 Pounds and 10 Pounds per capita for non-life and life insurance, respectively, Serbia lags behind most of its neighbors in Southeastern and Central Europe. In 2009 the industry accounted for only 4.6 percent of total assets and 5.6 percent of total capital in the Serbian financial sector. Although in 2008 the total gross premium written (GPW) for both life and non-life was SRD 52.2 billion (dinars), representing a 5.3 percent annual inflation-adjusted increase over the previous year, in 2009 the sector is likely to experience an 8 percent contraction due to the impact of the economic crisis.

26. Who Owns the Local Church? A Pressing Issue for Dioceses in Bankruptcy
- Author
-
Wells, Catharine P. and Wells, Catharine P.
- Abstract
The recent bankruptcies of Catholic Dioceses are unprecedented. For the first time, Bankruptcy Courts must deal with the difficult question of who owns the parish church. In this paper, I will explore two possible sources of confusion about this question. The first is the non- commercial, charitable nature of the Church. The second is its organizational complexity. Resolving the confusion requires a familiarity with various different sources of law including charities law, bankruptcy law, trust law, and Canon Law. In this paper I address this issue by: 1. discussing why the equities and policies that govern charitable bankruptcies are different from those that govern commercial bankruptcies; 2. laying out a road map for determining ownership issues that indicates what sub-questions must be answered and in what order; and 3. discussing the role that each of the different sources of law plays in answering these questions. My conclusion is that, in most circumstances, individual parishes do have a significant ownership stake in assets that are given or dedicated for their use.

27. Avoiding the Ex Post Facto Slippery Slope of Deer Park

Internal Revenue Code ,IRS ,Tax ,Liquidation ,Chapter 11 ,Bankruptcy court ,Ex post facto ,In re Deer Park, Inc - Abstract
This Article contends that bankruptcy courts had no power to order the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to allocate funds to trust fund taxes or non-trust fund taxes by granting designation orders ex post facto. It argues that Deer Park was wrong not just in extending the Energy Resources rule to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy liquidation case, but also by doing so ex post facto. It is suggested that the Energy Resources rule is properly applied only when the designation order is proposed before a Chapter 11 plan is approved or before the plan has been completed. This Article also suggests that Deer Park illustrates the limits and the weakness of Energy Resources rule which gives bankruptcy courts the discretion to allow or disallow proposed designations of tax payments to trust fund taxes or non-trust fund taxes. Designation orders of tax payments should not be allowed ex post facto or in liquidation plans, but should be restricted to true rehabilitation plans where the designation order is requested before the plan has failed, and the designation order of tax funds should apply only to future plan payments.
