Welcome to the Autumn 2013 edition of our e-zine update on Insolvency and Corporate Recovery.
In this edition we focus on a number of recent decisions of the Irish High Court, including decisions on COMI (both corporate and personal); a decision which looks at the potential difficulties which employees may face when a corporate employer ceases trading without being officially wound-up; and a decision highlighting the potential consequences of failing to properly conduct a creditors’ meeting. We examine the Foley’s/O’Reilly’s bar saga which resulted in the appointment over a nine month period of receivers, interim examiners, examiners and liquidators to the companies involved. We also report on a recent increase in interlocutory applications being brought by receivers seeking to obtain vacant possession of receivership properties.
We hope you find this e-zine informative. If you require any further information please contact me or any member of the Insolvency and Corporate Recovery Group.
