Within the past few weeks, agriculture has seen some major wins in Washington. The 2018 Farm Bill was passed in the House and Senate, and has now been signed by President Trump. Prior to that, a trade agreement had been arranged between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico just in time for harvest when farmers are looking for a market to sell their product.
One of the major wins for Americas farmers and ranchers has proved to be quite controversial, particularly in the Chesapeake Bay region. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently proposed a new Clean Water rule, which would rescind the 2015 waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule under the Clea…

A financial creditor can seek to initiate insolvency process against a corporate guarantor of a company first, instead of the company itself in case the guarantee fails, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has held.
Corporate insolvency resolution process, thus, can go ahead against the guarantor under section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Act (IBC) even without having proceeded and exhausted against all legal remedies against the principal debtor, the NCLAT said.
This, the appellate tribunal said, can be done as any corporate guarantee given by a parent company for the subsidiary becomes a debt as soon it is invoked and subsequently the corporate guarantor be…

To cheat a former bank colleague, a man concocted an elaborate plan to forge court documents including travelling to Malaysia to obtain counterfeit court seals.
Cheong Eh Meng ended up cheating almost $4 million from his 65-year-old ex-colleague.
On Wednesday (9 January) at the State Courts, Cheong, 55, pleaded guilty to 29 counts of cheating, forging a record of a court of justice and possessing a counterfeit seal. Another 191 counts of a similar nature will be taken into consideration for sentencing. One count of committing a criminal conspiracy with his wife was stood down.
Cheong and his ex-colleague, Eddy Tan, were colleagues who lost touch after Cheong was retrenched in 1997. They resumed contact in 2011 after Cheong was declared a ba…

Essar Group CEO Prashant Ruia says there must be a distinction in the bankruptcy code to deal with instances where the promoter has done something wrong and when it is a genuine business decision that has failed. When there is no wrongdoing, We should not talk about punishment, especially at a time when India is promoting a startup culture where there are going to be failures, he tells ET, a day after holding company Essar Global Fund announced full repayment of the groups debt. Amendments to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), first barring promoters from submitting a resolution plan before repaying dues and then allowing for the withdrawal of an asset from the process, were done in a little unfair manner because the first was wit…

Turkeys Football Federation (TFF) chairman Yldrm Demirren has described a plan aimed at restructuring the countrys football clubs debts, estimated to be some 10 billion Turkish Liras, as a milestone.
The deal the TFF has struck with the Turkish Banks Association [TBB] will strengthen the clubs financial and administrative structures and represents a strong contribution to Turkish sports, Demirren said during a televised interview on Jan. 7.
He reiterated that the envisaged plan is all about the restructuring of the existing debts.
