Overview
China has witnessed vibrant insolvency law developments in recent times, evident by the establishment of specialised bankruptcy courts across the country, an upward trend in the number of cross-border insolvency cases involving Chinese businesses overseas and multinationals with operations in the Mainland, and the recently concluded protocol between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on the recognition of each other’s insolvency proceedings.
At least a hundred such applications are made each year and almost all pass uneventfully , noted the judge. - The Straits Times/ANN SINGAPORE, April 11 (The Straits Times/ANN): An application by a trainee lawyer to be called to the Bar - usually an uneventful process - raised so many questions that a High Court judge said the matter should be swiftly and vigorously pursued by the relevant authorities.
Lawyer Tan Jeh Yaw, who supervised the six-month training stint of Kuoh Hao Teng, had made the unusual move of objecting to the trainee s application for admission to the Bar.
Tan claimed Kuoh played computer games and watched movies during office hours and did not complete the work assigned to him - allegations the trainee denied.
