  • The Institute’s Restructuring and Insolvency Faculty (RIF) and IWIRC Hong Kong (Hong Kong Network) collaborated again for an event held on the evening of 18 July. We were delighted to invite the Companies Judge, the Hon. Madam Justice Linda Chan, to share her perspective and insights on legal issues concerning the rights and status of bondholders in an insolvency, with a particular focus on the formation of committees of inspection under a Regulating Order regime, which was an issue that the court needed to examine in the Evergrande winding up case. Following the judge’s presentation, a lively panel discussion took place, expertly moderated by Daniel Chow, chairman of the RIF Executive Committee and senior managing director at FTI Consulting. The panel also featured Jacqueline Wenchen Tang, a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, and covered the insolvency practitioner’s and lawyer’s perspectives on this topic. The stimulating technical event was followed by an enjoyable networking session, where over 240 participants had the opportunity to chat and network. We extend our gratitude to Karas So LLP and FTI Consulting for sponsoring the drinks and canapés, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the evening. We express our heartfelt appreciation again to Madam Justice Linda Chan, Daniel and Jacqueline and all participants for making this evening a resounding success.
