开曼群岛大法院最近就Pinnacle
Global Partners Fund I Ltd(FSD
231/2018(RPJ)2019年2月4日(未报告案例))一案作出裁决,该法院采取务实的方法行使其酌情权,允许补救某些技术缺陷以(不)遵守2018《公司清盘规则》(以下简称"CWR")。
该案涉及的债权人就Pinnacle
Global Partners Fund I
Ltd(以下简称"公司")提出清盘呈请书;该公司律师辩称,作为一个预先裁决,该呈请书有缺陷,因为根据CWR第3号命令第5条规则的要求提交和送达该呈请书时,没有确定和批准的聆讯日期(而该缺陷使此呈请书无效,法官也未酌情考虑补救该缺陷)。
Parker法官在裁决中认为,这种情况下,不遵守CWR并不能至使诉讼程序无效,因此法院确实有权补救程序缺陷,但Parker法官强调必须防止法院在行使这方面的酌情权时发生不公正和偏见情况。
虽然引用案例HSH Cayman [2010
(1) CILR
114]以证实法院有权根据CWR援引其固有管辖权,管控自己的程序,但此后对CWR作出了修订,并明文规定法院有权修补(不)遵守CWR(不依赖其固有管辖权)的技术缺陷。
就清盘呈请书的实质性聆讯而言,Parker法官裁定,并未提出任何真实证据证明此笔债务是有争议(基于正当理由)而做出清盘令。
