Restructuring, Insolvency and COVID-19: where are we and where are we heading?

COVID-19 ready reckoner

We summarise the current (as at the week commencing 14 September 2020) stimuli and moratoria implemented by the Federal Government. This accompanies our webinar: Restructuring and insolvency - preparing for, and going beyond, the insolvency cliff, held on 16 September 2020.

24/09/20 - Reforms announced by the Federal Government

The Federal Government today announced a package of reforms directed at streamlining insolvency processes for small business. They include:

a new debt restructuring process to give viable small businesses a better chance of survival;
a new, simplified liquidation process to reduce the cost and time of the winding up process where that is the only option for small business; and
a series of complementary measures, including use of technology and relaxing registration requirements for insolvency practitioners involved in small business restructuring and liquidations.

These reforms are due to commence on 1 January 2021 following expiry of the current COVID-19 insolvency relief measures on 31 December 2020.
