Executive Benefits Insurance Agency v. Arkison (In re Bellingham Insurance Agency; 12-1200)

Under its reasoning in the <em>Stern</em> decision, the Court unanimously held that when the Constitution does not permit a bankruptcy court to enter final judgment on a bankruptcy-related claim, the relevant statute nevertheless permits a bankruptcy court to issue proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to be reviewed de novo by the district court.
