In bankruptcy practice, the debtor is usually insolvent, and the creditor's debt repayment rate is generally relatively low, so the creditor cannot be fully repaid. What creditors want is an increase in the debtor's assets or, as far as possible, to include all relevant assets in the bankruptcy property to improve the repayment rate. The question is, when the bankruptcy proceedings have ended, and the shareholders of the bankrupt (i.e., the original debtor) still have unpaid capital contributions, can the creditors, through ordinary civil proceedings, require the shareholders of the bankrupt to assume supplementary liability for repayment of the bankrupt's bankruptcy debts within the scope of their unpaid capital contributions?This article reveals the answer to this question through a case of the Supreme People's Court.

In March 2022, the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanghai caused most enterprises to stop production. As the epidemic was gradually controlled, Shanghai has successively released a number of "white lists" of enterprises that resumed work and production. Meanwhile, Shanghai and various districts have also issued guidelines for industrial and commercial enterprises to resume work and production. However, enterprises that resumed work and production are limited to five categories: urban operation support, epidemic prevention material support, important function support, continuous production operations, and supporting infrastructure support. In a short period of time, employees of enterprises that have resumed work may not be able to return to work normally due to epidemic prevention and control measures, resulting in short-term job shortages in enterprises that have resumed work, while a large number of labor forces in enterprises that have not yet resumed work are idle. Under this short-term employment conflict, if the idle labor force of enterprises that have not yet resumed work is transferred to those that have not yet resumed work, on the one hand, it can help the enterprises that have resumed work to resume production smoothly; On the other hand, enterprises that have not resumed work can continue to enjoy employment subsidy support, reducing the pressure on wage payment. The author of this article analyzes the legal relationship under the "shared employment" model in order to provide guidance for enterprises to share employment.

If one party signs and seals the contract and sends the scanned copy to the other party by email, and the other party signs and seals the scanned copy before sending it back by email, is the contract concluded in this way valid?

In the past few years, I have participated in M&A transactions, and I feel that Chinese companies are increasingly using lockbox mechanisms (or de facto lockbox mechanisms) to complete M&A transactions in the process of overseas M&A. This is also consistent with the trend observed by practitioners in other regions of the world (Ireland, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and other places). As a Chinese practitioner, I would like to make some observations on this trend.
