Join us for the Bankruptcy and the New Uniform Special Deposits Act: Insulating Depositor Funds From the Reach of Most Creditors webinar. Speakers Patrick Guida from Duffy & Sweeney, LTD, Jason Harbour from Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP and Michael M. Wiseman from Sullivan & Cromwell LLP will review the Uniform Special Deposits Act (SDA), a new state law promulgated by the Uniform Law Commission and recommended for enactment nationwide. Special deposits can serve an important function in commerce and industry by affording safety and security to the funds deposited in such an account. Regrettably, the current common law of special deposits has been fraught with ambiguities and inconsistencies which have undermined the utility of the device. The panel will discuss the legal uncertainties and the four “mischiefs” which have plagued the common law of special deposits for many years and how the SDA will clarify the law and remedy those mischiefs. The panel will also explain why the SDA is of tremendous benefit and significance to bankruptcy practitioners and secured lenders. Among other provisions, the panel will review the “opt-in” feature of the law and the special choice of law and forum selection rules.
