No two chapter 11 cases are alike and no two chapter 11 cases involving a retail business are alike. There are, nonetheless, certain issues that tend to arise in most retail cases. Among them: the retention of a liquidation firm; lease assumption and rejection; the claim priority of rent during a month that straddles the Petition Date or a rejection date; and consumer deposit issues. This webinar addresses such issues.

ATO risk assessments: Your client may be an ATO targetRedchip

RIGHTS OF VICTIM EDITED PRESENTATION(SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender.

These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

13. The Retail Shop Leases
and Other Commercial
Leases (COVID-19
Emergency Response)
Regulation 2020 (Qld).
Legislation
14. Who does the Regulation apply to?
The Regulation applies to “affected” retail and
commercial leases where:
1. the lease is binding on the parties on
commencement of the lease (whether or not the
lease has actually commenced);
2. the tenant is a “SME entity” meaning the tenant
has a turnover of $50 million or less; and
3. the tenant is eligible for the JobKeeper program.
15. The Regulation will capture leases
that commence after 29 March
2020.
Note, however, that relief will
only apply to rent and outgoings
payable by a tenant during the
period from 29 March 2020 to
30 September 2020 (Response
Period).
What about leases commencing after
29 March 2020?
16. What if an agreement for relief has already been
made?
• The Regulation makes it clear
that it does not affect the
validity of an agreement
entered into before or after
commencement of the
Regulation that is inconsistent
with the Regulation.
• Parties are free to enter into an
agreement inconsistent with
the Regulations.
17. In order to determine
the tenant’s eligibility to
relief, the Regulation
requires the tenant to
provide sufficient and
accurate information to
the landlord evidencing
their eligibility.
When is a tenant eligible and what needs to be
proved?
18. What kind of relief is available?
There is no mandatory amount of rent relief required to be offered.
The relief offered to a tenant must relate to the Response Period
(29 March 2020 to 30 September 2020 ) and have regard to:
1. all the circumstances of the tenant, including reduction in turnover;
2. the extent to which a failure to reduce the rent payable would
compromise the tenant’s ability to comply with the lease; and
3. the landlord’s financial position, including whether it has received any
financial relief.
At least 50% of the rent relief granted must be waived.
The remainder of the rent relief must then be deferred.
19. Does the relief also apply to outgoings?
NO
Landlords are however
required to pass on any
reduction they receive in
statutory charges, such as
land tax and rates, or
insurance premiums to the
tenant where the tenant
contributes to such charges.
20. Are there repayment obligations and what are the
timeframes?
Deferred rental payments
must not be required to be
repaid earlier than 1 October
2020 and over a period
between 2 and 3 years.
21. Can tenants request a lease extension?
If rent is waived or
deferred, the landlord must
offer the tenant an
extension to the term of
the lease on the same
conditions for an
equivalent period as the
rent was waived or
adjusted.
22. What are the restrictions on Landlords?
During the Response Period, landlords under applicable leases will be
prevented from:
1. recovering possession of the premises;
2. terminating the lease;
3. evicting the tenant;
4. seizing any tenant property;
5. forfeiting the lease;
6. charging interest or other penalty charges;
7. drawing on the security under the lease; or
8. enforcing a guarantee,
where that action relates to failure to pay rent, outgoings or carrying on
the permitted use from the Premises.
23. What if theTenant and Landlord cannot agree?
Where parties cannot reach
agreement on leasing
arrangements, the Regulation
includes a dispute resolution
process for the parties to
follow.
24. What are the obligations on theTenant?
Tenants are still required to comply with the
terms of the lease, where possible.
The protections under the Regulation only
apply to the tenant’s obligation to pay rent,
outgoings and keep the business open and
operating. So this does not apply to tenants
that fail to comply with other substantive
terms of the lease.
