Ballater Partnership November 2010
The document proposes a Ballater Land Partnership model for sustainable development through co-ownership. The partnership would see different stakeholders like landowners, local councils, contractors, self-builders, investors, and developers invest in a development through a limited liability partnership structure. This would create a rental pool and system of redeemable units that provide an affordable, indexed-linked housing solution while giving all partners a stake in the high-quality, energy efficient outcomes that benefit the community. The partnership aims to replace the conventional transaction-based development model with a collaborative co-ownership framework.

21.1 Introduction to Bankruptcy and Overview of the
2005 Bankruptcy Act
L E A R N I N G O B J E C T I V E S
1. Understand what law governs bankruptcy in the United States.
2. Know the key provisions of the law.
The Purpose of Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy law governs the rights of creditors and insolvent debtors who cannot pay their debts. In
broadest terms, bankruptcy deals with the seizure of the debtor’s assets and their distribution to the
debtor’s various creditors. The term derives from the Renaissance custom of Italian traders, who did their
trading from benches in town marketplaces. Creditors literally “broke the bench” of a merchant who failed
to pay his debts. The term banco rotta (broken bench) thus came to apply to business failures.
In the Victorian era, many people in both England and the United States viewed someone who became
bankrupt as a wicked person. In part, this attitude was prompted by the law itself, which to a greater
degree in England and to a lesser degree in the United States treated the insolvent debtor as a sort of
felon. Until the second half of the nineteenth century, British insolvents could be imprisoned; jail for
insolvent debtors was abolished earlier in the United States. And the entire administration of bankruptcy
law favored the creditor, who could with a mere filing throw the financial affairs of the alleged insolvent
into complete disarray.
Today a different attitude prevails. Bankruptcy is understood as an aspect of financing, a system that
permits creditors to receive an equitable distribution of the bankrupt person’s assets and promises new
hope to debtors facing impossible financial burdens. Without such a law, we may reasonably suppose that
the level of economic activity would be far less than it is, for few would be willing to risk being personally
burdened forever by crushing debt. Bankruptcy gives the honest debtor a fresh start and resolves disputes
among creditors.

Lehman Collapse
The collapse of Lehman Brothers was precipitated by the subprime mortgage crisis. Subprime lending involved making loans to borrowers who did not qualify for market interest rates. By 2008, 25% of subprime loans were delinquent or in foreclosure. Government policies in the 1970s and 1990s loosened lending standards and encouraged risky lending. Financial innovation like securitization and CDOs made the risks associated with subprime mortgages difficult to assess. In September 2008, JP Morgan demanded billions in collateral from Lehman, which Lehman could not pay, leading to its bankruptcy.
Explaining the 2008 financial meltdown
The 2008 financial crisis was caused by the repeal of regulations separating commercial and investment banking (Glass-Steagall Act). This led to excessive risk taking, complex financial products, lack of oversight, and the housing bubble. The crisis started with the collapse of the housing market but was exacerbated by factors like credit default swaps, subprime lending, and the use of leverage. Proper regulation and accounting standards are needed to prevent future crises and ensure stability and transparency in the financial system.
Jon Terracciano - Hedging the Global Market
In this paper Jon Terracciano will examine the current regulatory environment in which hedge funds operate, and will argue that although the regulatory system is in need of reform, proposed legislation is unnecessarily restrictive and could actually harm U.S. and international markets.
The Global Financial Crisis V3
The document discusses the history and underlying causes of the global financial crisis. It outlines the decades of deregulation in the US financial system since the 1980s, including the removal of restrictions on savings and loans and the repeal of Glass-Steagall. This led to excessive risk taking by financial institutions through practices like subprime lending, securitization of risky assets, and credit default swaps without adequate oversight. The crisis impacted global economies through reduced demand and interbank lending seizures. The US implemented rescue packages totaling over $1.5 trillion to stabilize financial markets and stimulate the economy.
Bankruptcy lecture 2
The document summarizes the historical development of bankruptcy law from medieval England to modern times. It discusses key developments including:
1) The first English bankruptcy statute passed in 1542 under King Henry VIII to deal with fraudulent traders and secure property for creditors. Debtors remained liable for debts.
2) Early bankruptcy law only applied to traders and provided no relief for debtors. Reforms were piecemeal and punishment of debtors continued.
3) In the 18th-19th centuries, a distinction emerged between dishonest and honest but unfortunate debtors. The 1869 Act provided relief for both traders and non-traders, freed bankrupts from debts, and established administration of bankruptcy.

“The Dodd-Frank Act” is all over the news. It’s reportedly killing community banks, and will impact all of the banking members in this distribution in some capacity. In continuation of a February Environmental Bankers Association - Risk Management Call (EBA-RMC) John Rybak and Greg Lampe of BB&T Bank, and attorney Brad Merrill of Snell-Wilmer, will provide an explanation of what’s going on, notably with respect to Banking Vendor Management (“vetting the vendors”).
Since its passage in 2010, implementation and interpretation of the 2,323 page long Dodd-Frank Act has touched most every part of banking including how banks use vendors, particularly in the area of mortgages and consumer compliance. Five years later there remains substantial uncertainty as new rule making continues. During our call we will provide a summary of key regulatory areas every banker should be aware of in vendor management as well as some of the general results of Dodd-Frank and exposure for non-compliance.
Ares Notes Essay
1) The document outlines the structure of credit-linked notes issued by Germany through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) called Aries Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH in 2004 to monetize part of Germany's debt from Russia.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentation
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
