SINGAPORE - The relationship between the Government and newsrooms should not be affected even as Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) restructures

T.C. | In Spain, 2,086 companies declared insolvency between January and April this year, an increase of 71% compared to 1,217 a year earlier, according to data published in the Official State Gazette and analysed by Iberinform. The strongest growth was in April, when 552 insolvencies were declared, compared to 41 in April last year, when the legal moratorium and confinement began, exempting administrators from filing for insolvency proceedings.

The law stipulates that insolvency proceedings must be filed when it is foreseen that payments cannot be met within three months. A failure to comply with this rule can lead to the subsequent insolvency proceedings being declared responsible, which entails the financial liability of the administ…

LONDON, April 15 (Reuters) – More businesses and individuals across Britain were declared insolvent last month than earlier in 2021 though levels remained mostly below those of a year ago as government support muted the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Britains economy shrank by almost 10% last year and millions of people have been unable to work due to lockdown restrictions, but state loan guarantees and wage subsidies have kept most companies and households financially afloat for now.

Government figures on Thursday showed 992 companies in England and Wales were declared insolvent in March.

This represents a rise since the start of the year but is still 20% fewer than in March last year at the start of the pan…

young couple at home consolidating their debt

Are your multiple debts getting too hard to manage and a little expensive?

A debt consolidation loan may be what you need!

Whats that, you ask?

Well, a debt consolidation loan is a financial product that allows you to roll your personal debts into one and pay them off with one regular repayment over the loan term.

A Western Australian man behind a betting scheme has been declared bankrupt with his assets frozen as investors chase up to $126 million.

Chris Brown, 27, claims to have made winnings through a hedging betting model, capitalising on odds shortening before the jump.

9 News reported he regularly sent those investing in the scheme screenshots of bank statements showing money in the accounts they believed he owned.

But on Monday he declared bankrupt in Federal Court.

9 News reported that those owed money include business owners Kade Lang and Adam Wilson, property developer John Norup and race caller Darren McAullay.

When confronted by 9 News, Brown claimed to still have the $126m owed and described the money as being ‘safe as houses’.

A sharp fall in company collapses masks the financial pain about to emerge from the pandemic, East Anglian insolvency experts are warning.

The East of England branch of insolvency and restructuring trade body R3 is urging company bosses to plan ahead for the withdrawal of government support schemes.

Ironically, the latest government figures for England and Wales show a record low in quarterly insolvencies. The first quarter of 2021 recorded a 21.9% fall, taking the previous quarters total of 3,053 down to 2,384. Year-on-year, the latest figure was 38.3% lower than in the same quarter of 2020 when 3,863 were recorded.

But R3 Eastern chairman Alistair Bacon said it was clear that a sharp rise in insolvencies is on the horizon.

Directors of companies often tender their resignation during the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). Therefore, a pertinent question arises as to whether such resignation requires acceptance/approval from the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) or the Resolution Professional (RP) or the Committee of Creditors (CoC) of the corporate debtor

Furthermore, it is often contended that directors of a corporate debtor must continue in order to ensure smooth completion of the CIRP. Hence, in addition to checking whether RP/IRP/CoC approval is required for acceptance of resignation of a director during CIRP, this article also tends to examine whether directors are required to remain with a corporate debtor to ensure their assistan…

SINGAPORE – The relationship between the Government and newsrooms should not be affected even as Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) restructures its media business into a model that can receive state funding, said Minister for Communications and Information S. Iswaran.

In a ministerial statement on Monday (May 10), he said the Government “does not intend nor expect” the transfer of SPH Media to a company limited by guarantee (CLG) to affect the relationship between his ministry and the SPH newsrooms.

“The Government is mindful that our local news media must remain credible institutions that are trusted by Singaporeans, and that it remains the responsibility of the editors and journalists in SPH Media to report news and diverse opinions obje…
