U.S. Bankruptcy Court approves sales of J.C. Penney

 U.S. Bankruptcy Court approves sales of J.C. Penney.

J.C. Penney is on course to emerge from bankruptcy by Thanksgiving after a U.S. bankruptcy Court approved the sale of the ailing 118-year-old retailer to its two largest landlords & its primary lenders.


The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas approved a purchase agreement, announced earlier this fall, that has substantially all of J.C. Penneys retail & operating assets acquired by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. & Simon Property Group through a combination of cash & new term loan debt. The approval followed a lengthy court hearing on Monday.


Still, the retailer faces an uphill battle to attract shoppers this holiday season as they stay away from the malls & stores for safety reasons & shop online more. Meanwhile, Amazon & big discounters like Walmart & Target are only getting stronger as they offer low prices & one-stop shopping.


J.C. Penney filed for Chapter 11 in May, becoming one of the largest retailers to do so during the pandemic amid a wave of store closures forced by the spread of COVID-19 infections in the U.S. More than two dozen retailers have filed for bankruptcy protection since the pandemic temporarily closed stores, restaurants, gyms & other businesses nationwide. Retailers are worrying about the effects on their business with a surge of new cases all over the country.


The Plano, Texas, chain will shed nearly a third of its stores in the next two years as it restructures, leaving just 600 locations open.

Effects of Non-Registration

 Effects of Non-Registration The Companies Act, 2013 evidently highlights that the main essential for any organization to turn into a company is to get itself registered. A company cannot come into existence until it gets registered. But no such obligation has been imposed for firms by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. If a firm is not registered it does not cease to be called as a firm, it still exists in the eyes law. Certainly, such a big advantage is not absolute but is subjected to a lot of limitations which we will study further. Non-registration of a firm simply means that the business skips the formalities of incorporation and ceases to exist in the eyes of the law. section 58 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 deals with the procedure of incorporation.
