It notes that courts are beginning to accept new methods like email and Facebook in addition to traditional methods under the Hague Convention. The document outlines the traditional Hague Convention process and then discusses how courts have started allowing email service when email is regularly used by the defendant.

This document summarizes a court case, Pfleiderer AG v. Bundeskartellamt, and its implications for obtaining antitrust evidence from European Commission investigations. The European Court of Justice in Pfleiderer ruled that EU competition laws do not preclude granting access to leniency documents to parties seeking damages from antitrust violations. This decision provides an opening for US antitrust plaintiffs to obtain records from EC investigations, as US courts may rebalance their analysis of international comity in such cases. The Pfleiderer ruling also appears to be influencing decisions in national courts within Europe.

3) Section 382 limits a loss corporation's ability to use pre-change losses after an ownership change. It establishes an annual limitation on losses based on the value of the corporation.
4) Anti-abuse rules like substantial nonbusiness assets, value reductions for recent
Counseling Financially Distressed Businesses Business Law 101Steven Silton
Bankruptcy can provide financially distressed businesses with relief from creditors and help reorganize viable businesses facing short-term problems. It offers tools like the automatic stay, which stops collection efforts and lawsuits, and the ability to terminate unfavorable contracts and leases. Bankruptcy can help with issues like bad contracts, trade debt, and foreclosures, but cannot solve problems like lack of revenue or uninterested investors. It allows businesses to term out or modify unsecured debt and tax debt through a repayment plan.
This document discusses the intersection of business law and bankruptcy. It provides an overview of bankruptcy law concepts including different chapters of bankruptcy, the automatic stay, treatment of secured and unsecured claims, executory contracts, leases, sales of property, and plan confirmation. It also discusses how various business situations could intersect with bankruptcy law, such as when a business, vendor, customer or owner experiences financial troubles. Key areas of focus are reviewing cash flow and debt structure, analyzing claims and contracts, and understanding opportunities to purchase debtor assets.
Discusses the intersection of bankruptcy and health care, and why lack of adequate health care is the number one reason people are forced to file bankruptcy.
