The UK Government has announced proposals to introduce a new UK
restructuring plan and moratorium, together with certain other
changes to the corporate governance regime relevant to companies in
distress. In addition, insolvency termination clauses will in
certain circumstances no longer be enforceable in the event that
one party to a contract enters into an insolvency proceeding.
When implemented, the proposals could have a significant impact on
the UK restructuring landscape and are likely to be of crucial
importance to all stakeholders. The proposed changes reflect the
general European trend in favour of debtor-led restructuring
proceedings, and they mark a notable shift in the United Kingdom
away from creditor-led processes that have historically dominated
the UK restructuring market.
This Jones Day White Paper reviews the proposals and explains
the possible next steps towards implementation.
