This case involved the winding-up of Loral Space & Communications Ltd., a Bermuda-registered company, following a Chapter 11 reorganization in the United States. The Joint Provisional Liquidators (JPLs) sought their appointment as permanent liquidators to conclude the winding-up process. The case raised issues about whether a company?s affairs could be wound up without first holding creditor and contributory meetings as required under the Companies Act 1981. The JPLs argued that the US Chapter 11 Plan had already settled all creditor claims, rendering the statutory meetings unnecessary. Mr. Larry Mussenden (Attride-Stirling & Woloniecki) N/A The Court appointed the JPLs as permanent liquidators without requiring the usual creditor and contributory meetings, citing the need for efficiency and compliance with the Chapter 11 Plan. JPLs appointed as permanent liquidators; statutory requirements for creditor meetings bypassed. Joint Provisional Liquidators (JPLs) (1) Can a Bermuda court appoint permanent liquidators without a creditor vote? (2) Should the Chapter 11 Plan override Bermuda?s statutory winding-up process? (3) Was the liquidation process consistent with Bermuda insolvency law? Clarifies the power of Bermuda courts to accommodate international bankruptcy procedures and streamline liquidation processes for companies under foreign restructuring plans.
