Procedural Posture

Scheme of Arrangement Under Companies Ordinance (cap.622) / Sanction Hearing / Reasons for Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 whether the Schemes pursue a permissible purpose
  2. 2 whether creditors were correctly classified as a single class for voting
  3. 3 whether the Scheme Meetings were properly convened and informed

Ratio Decidendi

The Court sanctioned the inter‑conditional Schemes because they served a permissible restructuring purpose, the Scheme Meetings were properly convened and informed, the requisite statutory majorities were obtained, the classification of creditors as a single class was appropriate on the facts (differences in ancillary rights did not make consultation impossible), the reduced AHG Work Fee was not so material as to fracture the class, and there was a sufficient Hong Kong connection and practical utility to warrant sanction.
