    Rob Plaskitt Head of Access and Licensing Telephone 020 7282 2072 E-mail [email protected] 21 July 2014 To the addressees listed at Annex 1 OFFICE OF RAIL REGULATION’S DECISION TO MODIFY THE NATIONAL STATION ACCESS CONDITIONS 2013 FOR ENGLAND & WALES AND SCOTLAND Introduction 1. On 8 May 2014, we consulted you on a proposal that we modify the National Station Access Conditions 2013 (England & Wales) and the National Station Access Conditions 2013 (Scotland), together the “NSACs”. The purpose of the modification is to rectify a drafting error contained in the NSACs. The relevant modification provisions are contained in Condition B6 of the NSACs. 2. The consultation closed on 4 July 2014. We received four responses, representing views from Network Rail, Transport Scotland and three train operating companies. We are grateful to those who responded. Decision 3. After careful consideration we have decided to modify the NSACs to rectify the drafting error contained in them. The modification notice to give effect to the changes is attached at Annex 2. Background 4. On 20 December 2013, ORR began the formal implementation of the Periodic Review 2013 (“PR13”). We did this by serving review notices and publishing them on our website pursuant to paragraph 4 to Schedule 4A to the Railways Act 1993. 5. The PR13 review notice for stations directed a number of changes to be made to the Station Access Conditions, including changes to the NSACs. In particular, Appendix A to Annex 4 to the stations review notice directed changes to Part F of the NSACs to amend the indexation provisions.

  • Company Lawyer Case Comment Recovering Costs of Litigation As A

Law. 84 Further developments The spate of cases dealing with the question of whether a liquidator can treat the costs of any litigation that she initiates or pursues in the exercise of her statutory functions as a liquidation expense payable in priority to other creditors shows no sign of abating. This is hardly surprising bearing in mind that a number of issues were left unresolved by the Court of Appeal in Re Floor Fourteen Ltd, Lewis v Inland Revenue Commissioners. 1 One such case, Re Demaglass Ltd, Lewis v Dempster 2 is the subject of this note. The likely implications of the Insolvency (Amendment) (No. 2) Rules 20023 are also briefly considered. Facts In Demaglass, the relevant companies were concurrently in administrative receivership and liquidation. The liquidators applied for an order requiring the receivers to pay them a sum out of floating charge realisations to enable the liquidators to fund an investigation with a view to possible litigation. It was taken as read that liquidation expenses are payable out of floating charge assets in the hands of an administrative receiver.

  • Statutory Erosion of Secured Creditors' Rights: Some Insights from The
    WALTERS.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 4/1/2015 2:05 PM STATUTORY EROSION OF SECURED CREDITORS’ RIGHTS: SOME INSIGHTS FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM Adrian J. Walters* As the American Bankruptcy Institute’s Commission to Study the Reform of Chapter 11 considers the state of business bankruptcy in this country, the narrative on chapter 11 is well-established and oft- repeated. According to this narrative, whereas in the past firms filing for chapter 11 came into the bankruptcy process with at least some unencumbered assets, modern firms tend to have capital structures that are entirely consumed by multiple layers of secured debt. Moreo- ver, as secured creditors have come to dominate capital structures, conventional wisdom has it that they have “captured” chapter 11 to the detriment of unsecured creditors. This development has justifiably troubled many scholars on both efficiency and distributional grounds. However, it remains an open question whether the perceived down- sides of secured creditor control can be satisfactorily addressed through bankruptcy law reform. In this Article, Professor Walters examines English attempts to use bankruptcy law to adjust the priority and control rights of secured creditors with the aim of improving the welfare of unsecured credi- tors. The Article starts from the premise that lenders that are powerful enough to bargain for superior control and priority rights inside or outside of bankruptcy will be equally capable of adjusting to legal changes that affect, or are perceived as affecting their interests. Four ways in which lenders will adjust to “adverse” bankruptcy reform are identified: (i) metabargaining; (ii) adjustments to prebankruptcy be- havior; (iii) transactional innovation; and (iv) “shape shifting”.

  • The Rise, Fall and Potential for a Rebirth of Receivership in UK Corporate
    The Rise, Fall and Potential for a Rebirth of Receivership in UK Corporate Law In this article, we explore diverse forms of receivership in order to demonstrate the extent of the continued or potential utility of this institution in UK Corporate Law. We do this by placing the historical origins of receivership alongside its contemporary manifestations in both solvent and insolvent scenarios. In so doing, we present a nuanced picture of receivership as a process that, in specie and - by reference to outcomes in other corporate insolvency law procedures - in substance, continues to provide protection for creditors (and other stakeholders) in modern commercial transactions. Keywords: receiver; receivership; administrative receivership; administration; pre- packs A. Introduction This article uses the term “receivership” generically to refer to a number of situations in which a person may be appointed as receiver by the court – suo moto or under statute, or by a legal or natural person under the terms of a contract, for the purpose of protecting, managing, or realising the value of property (including an undertaking). Thus, our definition of receivership is wide enough to cover court-appointed receivers,1 non-administrative receivership,2 and administrative receiverships.3 It encompasses out-of-court appointments of receivers as contractual expedients by debenture holders looking to enforce their security.4 These diverse categories of receivership constitute the basis of our discussions. This serendipity allows the institution to react to change. 1 For example, under Senior Courts Act 1981, s 37 and Criminal Justice Act 1988, s 77(8). 2 Law of Property Act 1925, s 101.
