NOTES AND COMMENT Editor-PHILIP ADELMAN THE INTERBOROUGH RECEIVERSHIP. On August 25, 1932, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company consented to an equity receivership in an action brought against it by the American Brake Shoe Company in the Southern District Court. Attached to the papers consenting to such receivership was an affidavit in proper form by James L. Quackenbush, attorney for the company, stating that in his judgment it would be undesirable to have a trust company appointed receiver in the cause and giving his reasons. -The day previous, Judge Martin T. Manton, Senior Circuit Judge, signed an order designating himself a district judge.' Under the standing order 2 for distribution of business in the Dis- trict Court the petition for the receivership would in the regular course of business have been presented to Judge Robert B. Patterson who was then sitting and available. Judge Manton thereupon an- nounced his disagreement with the distribution of business by the senior district judge and invoking Section 23 of the Judicial Code 3 appealed to himself as senior circuit judge to settle the theoretical dispute between the district judges.

    Overview of the Fdic As Conservator Or Receiver

    September 26, 2008 OVERVIEW OF THE FDIC AS CONSERVATOR OR RECEIVER This memorandum is an overview of the receivership and conservatorship authority of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). In view of the many and complex specific issues that may arise in this context, this memorandum is necessarily an overview, but it does give particular reference to counterparty issues that might arise in the case of a relatively large complex bank such as a significant regional bank and outlines elements of the FDIC framework which differ from a corporate bankruptcy. This memorandum has three parts: (1) background on the legal framework governing FDIC resolutions, highlighting changes and developments since the 1990s; (2) an outline of six distinctive aspects of the FDIC approach with comparison to the bankruptcy law provisions; and (3) a final section illustrating issues and uncertainties in the FDIC resolutions process through a more detailed review of two examples – treatment of loan securitizations and participations, and standby letters of credit.1 Relevant additional materials include: the pertinent provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance (the "FDI") Act2 and FDIC rules3, statements of policy4 and advisory opinions;5 the FDIC Resolution Handbook6 which reflects the FDIC's high level description of the receivership process, including a contrast with the bankruptcy framework; recent speeches of FDIC Chairman 1 While not exhaustive, these discussions are meant to be exemplary of the kind of analysis that is appropriate in analyzing any transaction with a bank counterparty. 2 Esp.

  • Liquidators, Receivers and Examiners Their Duties and Powers

    Liquidators, Receivers and Examiners Their Duties and Powers

    Liquidators, Receivers and Examiners Their duties and powers A quick guide Introduction We have produced this information booklet to explain the powers, duties and responsibilities of liquidators, receivers and examiners under the Companies Acts. What are liquidations, receiverships and examinerships? The liquidation of a company is also known as ‘winding up’ a company. The process takes the company out of existence in an orderly way by paying debts from any available assets. Receivership is used by banks or other lenders to sell a company asset that was promised to them if the company failed to repay its loan as agreed. Examinership is a process that protects a company from its creditors (the people to whom it owes money) while efforts are being made to keep it running as a going concern. What are liquidators, receivers and examiners? A liquidator is the person who winds up a company. A receiver is the person who sells particular company assets on behalf of a lender. Where a loan is secured on a company’s entire business, a ‘receiver manager’ can be appointed as manager of the business during the receivership. Once a receiver raises enough money to pay back the debt, their job is finished. Liquidators, Receivers and Examiners Their duties and powers Examiners consider if a company can be saved and, if it can, they prepare the rescue plan. Who can act as liquidators, receivers or examiners? Liquidators, receivers and examiners do not need to have any specific qualifications under the law. However, they are usually practising accountants. To make sure that liquidators, receivers and examiners work independently of the company, they cannot be: • a director or employee of the company; or • a family member, partner or employee of a director.

Define the following terms: rescue culture; moratorium; pre-pack administration; company voluntary arrangement; receivership. Term Definition rescue culture Where a legal system puts in place mechanisms designed to help financially struggling companies survive and become profitable moratorium The temporary prohibition of a specified act (e.g. where a company is in administration, the creditors will be prevented from enforcing their security) pre-pack An arrangement under which the sale of all or part of the administration company’s assets or business is negotiated with a purchaser prior to an administrator being appointed, and the administrator effects the sale immediately on, or shortly after, being appointed company voluntary An insolvency procedure under which a company enters into a arrangement binding agreement with its creditors 2. State whether each of the following statements is true or false and, if false, explain why: the principal purpose of administration is to rescue the business of the company as a going concern; an administrator can only be appointed by the company or by the court; when a company enters administration, the directors will vacate office; an administrator’s appointment will automatically terminate after one year, unless an extension is obtained; a CVA does not come with a moratorium; a receiver is a person appointed by a secured creditor to recover payment owed to that creditor. The principal purpose of administration is to rescue the business of the company as a going concern: This statement is false.

According to current U.S. law, firms have two bankruptcy options: Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 11 reorganization.
