Recovering a DFA debt and filing for inclusion in the register of creditors' claims

Print
In brief

Protecting a private investor's interests following the issuer's failure to meet its obligations on a defaulted DFA issue.

Background

The issuer defaulted on the DFA issue, requiring court proceedings to recover the debt before full-scale bankruptcy proceedings were opened against the debtor.

Opposing position

The digital financial asset issuer acknowledged the default and refused to satisfy the creditor's demands.

Our position and key arguments

We conducted the case before a court of general jurisdiction and carried out a comprehensive review of the documents confirming the claim arose and its exact amount.  We prepared and filed an application to include the client's claim in the register of creditors' claims.

Outcome

Active court protection is under way.

Why it matters

This is one of the early cases shaping a practical approach to protecting creditors' rights on a DFA issuer's default, both in ordinary court proceedings and directly at the bankruptcy stage.

Applies to

Recovering DFA debts; protecting investors' rights on the default of digital-asset issuers; filing for inclusion in the register of creditors' claims.
