NEW DELHI: Resolution plans under IBC have yielded 200% of liquidation value for creditors in addition to rescuing viable firms,

ADMINISTRATORS of a Cairns medical company that owes creditors hundreds of thousands of dollars are investigating whether the company may have traded while insolvent.

Dial-A-Doctor Cairns Pty Ltd, which provides a home visit healthcare service that bulk-bills patients in Cairns and Perth, was placed in voluntary administration on January 11.

It is still being operated in both cities, by another company within the Dial-A-Doctor group, which is not in administration.

An ASIC report prepared in February by administrators SV Partners, stated the company owed its unsecured creditors $998,069, statutory creditors $893,485, and employees $269,922.

The report states that the firm attributed the insolvency of the company to a change in government reg…

The taxman is being pushed up the pecking order when a company goes bust, to the irritation of other creditors. It is a short-sighted cash grab, says R3, the trade body for restructuring specialists and liquidators that decide who gets what when a company fails. The government hasnt thought through the total impact on lending to small businesses, it says.

You can see why banks might protest. From next April, HM Revenue & Customs claims will rank higher when a company is wound up.

As it stands now, creditors mostly banks that have lent money against specific assets such as warehouses or machinery still get first dibs on payouts. Next come the bills of the insolvency practitioners themselves. Whatever is left in the pot is divvie…

Back in July 2005, the G8 summit at the Gleneagles hotel in Scotland announced a package of aid and debt relief for the worlds poorest countries. The event marked the high point of international development cooperation and was supposed to put the finances of low-income nations on a permanent sustainable footing.

For a while, optimism seemed well founded. Public debt for those countries that qualified for help dropped from an average of 100% of their annual income in the early 2000s to just over 30% by 2013 freeing up resources to spend on health, education and infrastructure projects.

Now warning signs are flashing that another debt crisis is approaching, with concerns being raised not only by development campaign groups but by the Int…

Earlier in April, Ms Ellery removed her name from the Australian company, changing it from Ellery Land to a catchy-sounding ACN 124 374 358 Pty Ltd, the Australian company number.

The brand hosted a “mega sale” at Paddington Town Hall this month with up to 90 per cent off never-before-seen pieces.

Renowned for its exaggerated silhouettes, 70s-inspired tailoring and innovative use of textiles, Ellery Land is understood to have taken an unsuccessful foray into denim and footwear, leaving the company at a significant loss.

The closure of the once successful brand is the latest in a long line of Australian fashion brands that have entered into voluntary administration over the past few years. Ellery collections have since been stocked in a numb…

New Delhi: Resolution plans under IBC have yielded 200 per cent of liquidation value for creditors in addition to rescuing viable firms, IBBI Chairperson M S Sahoo has said.

“They are realising, on an average, 45 per cent of their claims through resolutions plans under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), which takes on average 300 days and entails a cost on average of 0.5 per cent.

This is significantly better as compared to the previous regime which yielded a recovery of 25 per cent for creditors through a process which took about five years and entailed a cost of 9 per cent,” Sahoo was quoted as saying in a Ficci statement.
