What You'll Learn
This course is offered under the Faculty of Law's Graduate Coursework Programmes in Corporate & Financial Services Law.
The insolvency of a company gives rise to many fascinating and complex questions. At what point should a company be entered into a formal insolvency procedure? Who should be responsible or given the right to initiate such a procedure? For whose benefit are such procedures conducted? To what extent should such procedures be geared towards the rescue of the company or its business? What rights should creditors of the company have over the conduct of the proceedings? How should the claims of creditors be dealt with? How should the controllers of the company be dealt with, in and outside formal insolvency proceedings? What can an insolvent company do to restructure its balance sheet to put it on a more sustainable basis? What happens when a company with assets and liabilities in two or more jurisdictions become insolvent?
In the course, these questions are approached through the study of Singapore's corporate insolvency law. Participants embark on a close study of the formal procedures available in a domestic corporate insolvency, acquiring a detailed knowledge of the Singapore company liquidation and judicial management procedures. In view of the increasing importance of the scheme of arrangement as a corporate or business rescue mechanism, participants will study the scheme of arrangement in detail, particularly on how it may be used to restructure a company's balance sheet. The course ends with a brief introduction to the main theories of cross-border insolvency law and the main features of Singapore's cross-border insolvency law.
