The significance of the case more generally, for example if the case has wider ramifications for the client generally and/or public or legal significance.Simon Passfield, the Head of Guildhall Chambers’ Insolvency Team acted for Peter Smith (an unsecured creditor who opposed the restructuring plan) at the sanction hearing on 24-26 April 2023. He has considerable experience of Part 26A CA, having previously acted for Pure Gym Limited at the convening hearing in Re Virgin Active Holdings Ltd [2021] EWHC 814 (Ch)). The period within which a company or other qualifying body must hold an AGM (whether as a result of legislation or a provision in the company’s articles) has been extended. This applies where a company or other qualifying body was or is required to hold an AGM before the end of a period expiring during the period between March 26 and September 30, 2020. It has the effect of giving businesses until the end of that period (or a later date, if extended) to hold their AGM. In plain terms, insolvency proceedings arise when a company is unlikely to continue trading. As a result, the directors or a court initiate a wind-up process that sells all the company’s assets to repay its creditors. Once the assets have been sold, the company ceases to exist.

The Government Guidance on the draft legislation states that the new moratorium procedure is aimed at ensuring that companies can maximise their chances of survival during the COVID-19 crisis. It is intended to be a seamless procedure that keeps administrative burdens to a minimum, allows for a speedy entry process and does not add disproportionate costs to already struggling businesses. There are also some temporary relaxations to the requirements of the Act in the period to June 30, 2021 (the COVID Period) which make it easier for companies to use the process. For example the representation that the proposed monitor is required to make prior to the moratorium commencing, that he considers that “it is likely that the moratorium would result in the rescue of the company as a going concern” is qualified by the words “or would do so if it were not for any worsening of the financial position of the company for reasons relating to coronavirus". The Act rectifies this gap in UK law by introducing a new standalone moratorium procedure which leaves the directors in control whilst they implement a plan to rescue the company as a going concern. The Act includes a new restructuring process as Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 which will enable directors to propose a Restructuring Plan to compromise the claims of creditors and/or members. A key feature of the new provisions is the new “cross-class cram down”, which is not possible in a Scheme. This allows the court to sanction the approval of a compromise or arrangement where dissenting classes of creditors or members are bound on certain conditions.

The directors can make an application to court after the 15th business day of the initial moratorium period for an extension of the period. The court will consider whether the extension is in the interests of the pre-moratorium creditors and whether the court considers that the rescue is likely. The court will likely want to consider the views of the monitor on these points and understand why it was not possible to obtain creditor consent. The monitor’s remuneration can be challenged by a subsequent administrator or liquidator. The role of the directors during the moratorium There are additional provisions for an extension to be granted by the court whilst a proposal for CVA is pending, or in the course of other proceedings such as a scheme of arrangement or restructuring plan. Notice of a moratorium and any extensions or termination of it Our barristers act in criminal work for the Crown Prosecution Service (hereafter ‘CPS’) and other prosecuting agencies, as well as for Defendants, at all stages in the criminal justice process.

A taxpayer can fall within the provisions of section 26A more than once in his or her lifetime. It may be that a taxpayer has a significant period of residence in the UK after which he or she may be absent from the UK for a number of years. If they subsequently establish another period of UK residence, it will be necessary to consider whether they have a recent 3 year period of non-residency as detailed in section 26A. If they do fall within section 26A, any foreign earnings are subject to the conditions of section 26 rather than being considered as chargeable overseas earnings under section 22 (see EIM40105). The deductor has to go to the TRACES portal and submit a request for Form 26A. Further, deductor needs to enter the details of non-deduction transaction. The process is similar to the process for the approval of a Scheme, with a two-stage court approval. The Government Guidance states that the courts can refer to the existing case law in relation to Schemes where appropriate, which will assist the court with the approval process. Key aspects of the process are as follows: Importantly, it is a procedure which is not just available to English companies but also to overseas companies, provided that they have a sufficient connection with the English jurisdiction.
