All’s fair when it comes to business and rescue
It is well known that one of the benefits of business rescue is that it provides breathing room for the company in financial distress through the temporary moratorium on the rights of claimants against the company. The creditors of a company in business rescue are usually found scrambling to determine what their rights are in the event of a debtor going into business rescue. Business rescue affords the business rescue practitioner certain powers when it comes to contracts in general, which means that any party that has contractual relations with the company may have its rights affected by the exercise of such powers. Therefore, it does not mean that if one is not a creditor of the company, they will not be affected by the business rescue.
