The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Friday rejected Jaiprakash Associates Ltd's petition challenging the insolvency proceedings initiated
When we released our first global insolvency forecast in February, we were already expecting a sharp increase in 2024 (+9%), followed by a stabilization in 2025. However, recent developments have led to an even grimmer picture, with a projected increase of +11% for this year (+2pps from the previous forecast), followed by a peak of +2% in 2025 (+2pps from the previous forecast). The number of business failures will thus stabilize only in 2026, and even then, they will remain at a high level.
We expect bankruptcies in the US to increase +12% in 2025 and decrease -4% in 2026. In Germany, they will increase by +4% and decrease by -4% in 2026. In France and the UK, the number of bankruptcies will decrease slightly after…
New rules on insolvency and restructuring of companies in Portugal will come into force in mid-April, under a law published in the state gazette on Tuesday that reduces the period of personal insolvency to three years from the current five.
At present, people who file for insolvency are limited in their financial life for five years, after which they are freed from the remaining debts. That interim period will now be reduced to three years.
Earlier this year, the Allahabad bench of the National Company Law Tribunal initiated insolvency proceedings against Jaiprakash Associates Ltd. in a plea moved by ICICI Bank Ltd. The tribunal held the construction company to be in default for Rs 1,269 crore.
ICICI Bank had sanctioned loans to Jaiprakash Associates under six different facilities between 2011 and 2015. These loans totalled a huge amount—nearly Rs 4750 crore.
In its 120-page-long order, the NCLT rejected Jaiprakash Associates’ contention that it faced a liquidity crunch and defaulted on debt repayments mainly due to delays in government approvals and prolonged litigation concerning land acquisition for the Yamuna Expressway and changes in government policies.
Latest figures from the Insolvency Service have shown that the number of business insolvencies in England and Wales was 1,747 in October 2024, 10% lower than in September 2024 (1,950) and 24% lower than the same month in the previous year.
The business insolvencies figures consisted of 188 compulsory liquidations, 1,445 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs), 100 administrations and 12 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs).
CVLs accounted for 83% of all company insolvencies. The number of CVLs decreased by 7% from September 2024 and was 24% lower compared to the same month last year (October 2023). The number of CVAs was 48% lower in October 2024 than October 2023 and 29% lower than in September…
The NCLT admitted JAL to CIRP on June 3 on pleas filed by ICICI Bank and the State Bank of India (SBI). The tribunal cited the company’s significant debt burden as ground to admit the pleas.
JAL faces a total debt of over ₹50,00 crore with multiple lenders having exposure. ICICI Bank alone claims over ₹3,000 crore including interest in dues.
The insolvency process stems from an initial plea filed by ICICI Bank in 2018 followed by a similar plea filed by SBI in 2022.
Efforts to reduce debt have included the sale of cement plants including a proposed ₹5,666 crore deal with Dalmia Bharat. However, the transaction remains incomplete, raising uncertainties.

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Friday rejected Jaiprakash Associates Ltd’s petition challenging the insolvency proceedings initiated against the company.

The order has been pronounced orally and a detailed order is yet to be uploaded.
On June 3 this year, the Allahabad bench of NCLT admitted the six-year-old insolvency petition filed…

The Board of the National Bank of Ukraine has decided to classify Commercial Investment Bank JSC as insolvent. This was reported by “Komersant Ukrainian” with reference to the NBU press service.
The decision was made in connection with the failure of Cominvestbank to bring its activities in line with the requirements of the law, including the regulations of the National Bank, the report said.
The decision in Commissioner of State Revenue v McCabe (No 2) [2024] FCA 662 (McCabe) serves as an important reminder that commercial morality is to be considered as a factor under the “public interest”, rather than a separate consideration relevant to termination of a DOCA under s 445D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). In McCabe, the Commissioner’s s 445D challenge to the DOCA was entirely unsuccessful.
