The business debt necessary to qualify for Subchapter V need not to have arisen from the debtor’s business at the time of filing, Bankruptcy Judge Meier says.

Because a limited partner’s obligations were only ‘options,’ the partnership agreement was not an executory contract, Chief Judge Meier says.

Where the courts are split, Idaho judge sides with the Tenth Circuit BAP and allows a chapter 13 debtor to retain post-petition appreciation in the value of a homestead following conversion to chapter 7.

Section 326(b) could have been (incorrectly) read to mean that non-standing subchapter V trustees are not entitled to compensation.

Trustees in chapter 12 fare better than chapter 13 trustees if a case is dismissed before confirmation.

Idaho judge seems to disagree with the Second Circuit’s ruling that a chapter 12 debtor can surrender less than all of the collateral to confirm a plan.
