Strait to crisis: Trump orders Hormuz blockade after talks sink

Strait to crisis: Trump orders Hormuz blockade after talks sink TOI Correspondent from Washington: US President Donald Trump on Sunday announced that the US Navy will begin a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz with immediate effect after a high-stakes diplomatic mission led by the Vice President J.D. Vance ended without an agreement with Iran after night-long talks in Pakistan. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully “LOCKED AND LOADED,” and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!" Trump said in a post on Sunday hours after the fiasco in Islamabad that saw Vance head home without a deal. Any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, by the US or by Iran or any other country, will almost certainly be illegal under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNLCOS) which deems it as a global waterway. While Trump himself has said the US will not be affected by the closure since it does very little business through it, a blockade will have serious economic consequences for China, India, Japan, and South Korea, each of which imports more than 50 per cent of its energy needs through this waterway. Indeed, while the blockade will strangle Iran's oil revenues, it will also affect energy exports from Washington's allies such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and UAE, while allowing energy-rich US to profit from the crisis, something Trump has openly boasted about.

NCLAT reaffirms project-specific insolvency proceedings against realty firms

NCLAT reaffirms project-specific insolvency proceedings against realty firms - Litigation - 3 min read NCLAT reaffirms project-specific insolvency proceedings against realty firms The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal has reaffirmed that insolvency proceedings initiated by homebuyers against realty firms must remain confined to the specific project where default has occurred and cannot extend to other projects of the corporate debtor. The appellate tribunal highlighted that putting all other projects of the realty firms, which are unrelated to the default, is not in the interest of homebuyers and other stakeholders of other projects. "The law is well settled that when financial creditors, homebuyers who belong to one project and who file a Section 7 application on account of default committed by the corporate debtor with respect to the project, the CIRP has to confine to the said projects," said the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). NCLAT, which last month passed an order related to another project of Raheja Developers and held that the CIRP is confined to only one project, Raheja Shilas, said that the judgment is fully applicable in the facts of the present case and has to be followed. Applying the same, the NCLAT had confined the ongoing CIRP of Raheja Developers to "Krishna Housing Scheme" only, and not against the entire group. Passing a final order, the appellate tribunal also held that in the project-wise insolvency proceedings against the realty firm, claims also filed by the creditors and stakeholders should be confined to that specific project. "When the CIRP is initiated project-wise, it is but natural that the claims filed by the stakeholders have to be confined to the project against which the CIRP is proceeding," said the NCLAT bench, comprising Chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan and Member (Technical) Barun…
