2011年10月9日,经过广泛征求意见和多次的讨论,中国银行业监督管理委员会颁布了《商业银行理财产品销售管理办法》(简称"销售管理办法")。销售管理办法在很多方面保留了银监会之前于2005年发布的《商业银行个人理财业务管理暂行办法》和《商业银行个人理财业务风险管理指引》的内容,同时,也在一些很重要的领域提出了新的要求。在目前的资金市场面临较大短缺和存款收益较低、投资渠道不足的情况下,商业银行的理财产品销售会是银行和客户都很关注的一项业务,因此,销售管理办法的出台需要引起商业银行的重视和仔细研究,需要银行作出具体的方案,调整业务的模式和程序,以避免发生合规和其他风险。Continue Reading 银监会出台新的商业银行理财产品销售规则

司法实践中,在债务人破产(包括破产清算、重整与和解,下同)程序中,管理人常常会遇到债权人的债权人向相关法院提出申请,要求执行债权人在债务人破产程序中可获得的分配权益。具体的做法是:

债务人破产程序中,在受理破产案件的法院裁定确认各家债权人的债权之后,债权人的债权人申请法院(该法院不一定是受理破产案件的法院),对债权人在债务人破产程序中可受偿的权益予以执行;受理执行案件的法院则根据债权人的债权人之申请,出具民事裁定书,向债务人破产程序中的管理人发出协助执行通知,要求冻结债权人在债务人破产程序中的可分配权益,并要求管理人在对债权人进行分配时,将应当分配给债权人的资产的全部或者一部分,直接支付给提出执行申请的债权人的债权人,或是直接支付至受理执行案件的法院,再由受理执行案件的法院转给提出申请的债权人的债权人。Continue Reading 债权人的债权人对债权人在债务人破产程序中的可分配权益可否冻结和执行

作为世界第三大贸易国家,随着经济的发展和技术的进步,中国的进出口额逐年大幅增加。其中,大型成套设备进出口占了相当比重。与一般国际货物贸易相比,大型成套设备贸易集货物贸易、知识产权及服务贸易于一体,商务、技术、法律、金融问题互相交织,其复杂性格外突出。加之大型成套设备往往价格昂贵,动辄就以千万美元甚至上亿美元计,对企业的正常生产经营活动至关重要。因此,大型成套设备买卖一旦发生纠纷,不仅法律难点多,而且如果不能妥善解决,后果也将十分严重,故此应当格外予以重视。

In order to regulate transfers of insurance business by insurance companies, the China Insurance Regulatory Committee (CIRC) recently issued the Provisional Measures on Administration of Insurance Business Transfers by Insurance Companies (the "Measures"), which will become effective on October 1, 2011.

"Transfers of insurance business" refers to when an insurance company decides to transfer all or part of its insurance business to another insurance company through mutual consultation and negotiation. This transfer mechanism is a way for insurance companies to voluntarily exit from the insurance market.  The Measures do not apply to the following circumstances: (i) an insurance company that engages in the life insurance business and is transferring its insurance business as a result of being closed down or being declared bankrupt; (ii) an insurance company that fails to meet the prescribed solvency requirements and is forced by the regulatory committee to transfer its insurance business; and (iii) an insurance company in the reinsurance business.Continue Reading Not Your Average Assignment of Contracts: New Provisional Measures Governing Transfers of Insurance Business

为规范保险公司保险业务转让行为,保监会近日颁布了《保险公司保险业务转让管理暂行办法》(以下简称《办法》),并将于2011年10月1日正式实施。
