Article summary

Restructuring and Insolvency analysis: Jen McCormick of Pinsent Masons LLP looks at this recent High Court case, which says that the requirement for special administrators to carry out a client money reconciliation 'immediately' after being appointed means that they must begin the process immediately, not that they must complete it straight away. The judgment clarifies Regulation 10H of the Investment Bank Special Administration Regulations 2011 and should remind prospective special administrators of the urgency and importance of the client asset reconciliation exercise.
