    RE RBS SECURITIES JAPAN LTD

    Citation
    RE RBS SECURITIES JAPAN LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2313/2007

    The court confirmed the reduction because the reduction served a discernible purpose (eliminating permanent accumulated losses to meet exchange membership requirements), did not alter class rights or diminish unpaid capital, and adequate protection for creditors was provided by a parent indemnity and the company's undertaking, therefore the reduction complied with section 58(1) and was lawful.
