HEADLINE: Inbrief: Court approves planner for NTS

BODY:


The Central Bankruptcy Court yesterday ordered Nakornthai Strip Mill (NTS) to proceed with its rehabilitation plan, with Ramkhamhaeng Planner appointed to administer the restructuring of the steel company's 33.5 billion baht in debts.

No objections were filed against the petition made by the Industrial Finance Corporation of Thailand and NTS.

The court also ordered debt restructuring for Thai Wah Plaza, a property developer. It approved Thai Wah Group Planner to administer the plan.

In another development, Robinson Planner was named planner for the rehabilitation of Robinson Department Store, which owes US$463 million.

Robinson Planner was jointly set up by Ferrier Hodgson, an Australian-based consultancy, and Robinson. A final plan is expected to be submitted to the court within three to five months.
