Rekonstruktion av företag inom insolvenslagstiftningens ramar : en jämförande studie av svensk och amerikansk insolvensrätt
- 2001
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Insolvency law is the rooth of commercial and financial law because it obliges the legislator to chose. There is not enough money to go round so the law must chose who to pay. The law must always decide who is to bear the risk so there is always a winner and a loser. The insolvency law has been at the policy agenda in many countries in the last years. In France, Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries have the legal frameworks changed from liquidation procedures to reorganization business. The legal situation in Sweden has also changed from compositions to reorganization business, lagen om företagsrekonstruktion. The key issues are to encourage the formal proceeding by enlarging the debtors control of the business and by inroads creditors rights, in which case the proceeding is pro-debtor.This dissertation compares Swedish and American Bankruptcy Codes with respect to similarities and differences at macro- and micro perspectives. Chapter 11 Reorganization Business in America provides a corporate rehabilitation model, which has been used in other countries. The dissertation also compares the use of the concepts of - the purpose, - the function and - the direction of Swedish and American Bankruptcy Laws in order to establish whether the law is pro-debtor or pro-creditor. The key indicators of whether the rescue proceeding is pro-debtor or pro-creditor include; - How easy it is to enter the rescue proceeding. Debtor's incentives to commence proceeding, freeze on executions and liquidation petitions, impact on security, impact on title of finance, impact on set-off and netting, impact on contract rescissions and lease forfeitures. Disclaimer and abandonment, ability to replace the management, financing of the rescue, scope of the rehabilitation plan. It is argued that the optimal bankruptcy law can be achieved if the law purpose, the function and the law direction relate to each other in Sweden, in both reorganization business and in the liquidation code and it also compared with the American Bankruptcy Code. According to my opinion this is important both in a national and international context.The dissertation also deals with debtor's contract in an insolvency situation in reorganization business and in liquidation. Swedish Laws are compared to the American Bankruptcy Code and point out similarities and differences. In the American Bankruptcy Code there is a special section 365 § BC dealing with executory contract, this section is nearly the same for both the reorganization- and liquidationproceedings. The contracts must be unperformed which means the obligation of both the bankrupt and the other party in the contract are so far unperformed that the failure of either to complete performance would constitute a material breach excusing the performance of the other. If the contract is unperformed the debtor has the possibility to chose if the contracts shall be assumed, assumed and assigned or rejected. Section 365 § BC requires the court to consider whether assumption of the contract in question will further be needed in either rehabilitation or liquidation of the bankruptcy estate. The court reviews the financial impact of the estate and if it is benefiting becoming administratively obligated to perform. The court also review if is best to breach the contract. In Sweden we have different sections which regulate the situation. One section in our reorganization law, lagen om företagsrekonstruktion, we also have two special sections in the law of Sale of Goods, which deals with contract when a debtor became insolvent or file for reorganization business. But we don't have any section in our liquidation law, konkurslagstiftningen, which in my opinion is very strange. We also have a problem with the legislation about swaps and netting which are regulated in a special law, lagen om handel med finansiella intrument. Particular attention is given to the advantages and disadvantages of the existing rules in Swedish legal system compared with 365 § in American Bankruptcy Code. From a national point of view such section should preferably include all types of contract in only one section which is nearly the same as the American model of section 365 §.

IT-bolagen och de immateriella tilllgångarna vid företagsrekonstruktion och konkurs
- 2002
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I denna bok behandlas de upphovsrättsliga frågor som kan aktualiseras när ett IT-bolag tvingas inleda ett insolvensrättsligt förfarande. Såväl rekonstruktörens som konkursförvaltarens hantering av licenser, källkodsdepositioner, programvaror, databaser, domännamn, webbsajter och kundregister beskrivs. Vidare beskrivs de anställdas ställning samt deras eventuella upphovsrätt till programvaror och patent på uppfinningar. Utöver detta diskuteras värdet av att en förvaltare beslutar att fortsätta att driva rörelsen, alternativt om konkursförvaltaren kan försälja tillgångarna separat och hur det eventuella värdet av de immateriella rättigheterna i förekommande fall kan komma borgenärerna till godo. Inom det insolvensrättsliga systemet har det på grund av den nya ekonomins snabba utveckling skett en del förändringar. Hanteringen av IT-bolagens i huvudsak mjuka tillgångar blir vid såväl företagsrekonstruktion som konkurs annorlunda än vid insolvensförfaranden med bolag som har traditionella (fysiska) tillgångar. Tillgångarna i ett IT-bolag kan till övervägande del bestå av humankapital med särskild kompetens och olika immateriella rättigheter.

Gäldenärens avtal vid företagsrekonstruktion och konkurs
- 2003
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Gäldenärens avtal utgör en av de viktigaste tillgångarna vid såväl företagsrekonstruktion som vid konkurs. Det är ett rättsområde som är komplext och som regleras på flera olika ställen i lagstiftningen. Vid företagsrekonstruktion finns ett lagrum i lagen om företagsrekonstruktion men vid konkurs tillämpas bl.a. 63 § köplagen och vissa regler i jordabalken analogt för andra avtals typer än köp och hyra av fast och lös egendom. Syftet med denna framställning är bl.a. att kartlägga det gällande rättsläget samt att föra en kortare diskussion om hur gäldenärens avtal bör regleras i en kommande lagstiftning. I boken behandlas gällande rätt för hanteringen av gäldenärens avtal under såväl konkurs som företagsrekonstruktion, exempelvis beträffande köp av lös egendom, hyra av lokal, leasingsavtal och handel med värdepapper. Den för svensk obeståndsrätt unika bestämmelsen i 2 kap. 20 § lagen om företagsrekonstruktion behandlas i ett separat kapitel.

Företagsrekonstruktion i teori och praktik
- 2001
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denna bok behandlar förutsättningarna för företagsrekonstruktion, innehållet i ansökan, rättsverkningarna av inledandet av förfarandet, gäldenärens rådighet, rätt till kvittning, återvinning samt hantering av avtalsförhållanden. Såväl rekonstruktörens som borgenärernas roll diskuteras liksom lämpligt innehåll i rekonstruktionsplanen. Dessutom redgörs för förfarandets upphörande. Vidare redovisas tre fallstudier. De praktiska erfarenheterna baseras i huvudsak på en undersökning som utförts av författarna. I undersökningen studerades samtliga företagsrekonstruktioner som handlagts vid landets alla tingsrätter under tiden september 1996 till januari 2000.

Miljörörelsens mångfald
- 2001

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In the thesis, the conditions, possibilities, and limitations for Swedish environmental organisations to influence other actors — state agencies, political organisations, enterprises and the Swedish public — are analysed. The focus is on their practice in the nineties, implying a context in which different actors, to a greater extent, have accepted the significance of environmental issues, demand knowledge of and solutions to environmental problems, and with new conflicts continously arising. Against this background, four main interrelated themes are developed. Firstly, focus is set on the diversity and internal relations of the movement itself. Heterogeneity, variation and internal relations are analysed through the use of concepts such as social movement, collective identity, and niche. The diversity of the movement is regarded as a source of strength even though it also produces limitations. Secondly, how environmental organisations act politically and in what political scenes they appear, are analysed through the use of concepts such as political opportunity structure, subpolitics, lifepolitics, risk definition struggle, and intermediary link. The use of combined strategies, as well as the relation between diversity and political action, are highlighted. Thirdly, the cognitive practice of environmental organisations is analysed. This entails analysing how they try to persuade other actors with the help of frames. The extensive use of frame bridgings as well as tendencies towards the use of more cooperative strategies — captured by the concept ecological modernization — provide opportunities but also imply threats against autonomy and critical distance. However, the study shows that the organisations have the capacity to preserve their cognitive autonomy. Fourthly, the importance of organisation for cognitive practice, autonomy, and resource mobilization is stressed, and variations in form are analysed. Certain organisational tendencies such as growth, routinization, and professionalization are highlighted. The study is based on intensive comparative case studies of five Swedish environmental organisations: Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, World Wide Fund for Nature, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and the Natural Step. Different kinds of data are used: interviews with keypersons in the organisations, analyses of different kinds of documents produced by the organisations, and different kinds of secondary litterature.
