On October 28, 2015, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) issued a decision that significantly expands the jurisdictional bases that foreign issuers can rely upon to obtain relief in the United States under Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code. In its decision, the Bankruptcy Court held that a New York choice of law provision and consent to New York court jurisdiction in the bond indenture of a foreign issuer was a sufficient property interest to establish jurisdiction for purposes of obtaining Chapter 15 relief in the Southern District of New York.
