看完了今天港高等法院发布的恒大清盘令，最后一段分享一下， I do not see any proper ground for the court to grant a further adjournment of the Petition, which has been ongoing for over 19 months. The Company has not demonstrated that there is any useful purpose for the court to adjourn the Petition - there is no restructuring proposal, let alone a viable proposal which has the support of the requisite majorities of the creditors. To the contrary, it seems to me that the interests of the creditors will be better protected if the Company is wound up by the court, so that independent liquidators can take control over the Company, secure and preserve its assets and review and formulate a restructuring proposal if they consider that such course is appropriate. It is not uncommon for a company to put forward and implement a scheme of arrangement after it is wound up by the court. Indeed, in respect of the Company, this has the additional advantage of putting the Company out of the control of Mr Hui, which had hitherto been one of the regulatory hurdles preventing the Company from issuing new debt instruments or new shares.
