Proceeding |
foreclosure |
The most likely applicable proceeding for the Mirage's case (see methodology) would be a foreclosure by judicial sale. After Mirage's default, BizBank would initiate the foreclosure by filing an application with a District Court in Yangon. |
Outcome |
piecemeal sale |
The hotel will stop operating and Mirage's assets will be sold by the court appointed bailiffs in a public auction. |
Time (in years) |
5 |
The foreclosure procedure until BizBank is repaid some or all of the money owed to it will take approximately 5 years. Usually after 1 year since Mirage's default, BizBank would initiate foreclosure by filing a petition at the Court. During the above mentioned 1-year period, BizBank needs to obtain formal documentary evidence indicating the endeavors made but failed to solve the payment issue. After receiving the application, it takes at least half a year for the Court to review the case, notify Mirage and hold hearings until the final order is made. Within the following 1.5 to 2.5 years, the Court would make a final decision on BizBank's claim after rounds of legal debates. Then it takes another year for the Court to pass an execution order based on which BizBank will be entitled to open an execution proceeding. In addition, the court needs to decide on all the third party claims, including tax authorities, which usually be settled within 1 year. After announcing the execution of the foreclosure proceeding, the Court will appoint a bailiff/judicial receiver to gather information on Mirage's assets, prepare them for sale and conduct the sale in a public auction. It takes approximately 1 year to complete the sale and distribute proceeds. |
Cost (% of the estate) |
18 |
The costs associated with the case would amount to approximately 18% of the value of the debtor's estate. The cost incurred during the entire insolvency process mainly includes attorneys' fees (10%), auctioneer's fees (3%), fees of accountants and other professionals (4%) and court's fees (1%). |
