Judge Goldblatt of Delaware wrote an opinion where the answer was self-evident but there was no authority on point.

Peculiar circumstance compelled a Delaware judge to depart from his usual approval of ‘opt-out’ plans that grant non-debtor releases.

Upholding confirmation of the Boy Scouts’ chapter 11 plan, the district judge in Delaware disagreed with his counterpart in New York who found no statutory power to impose non-consensual, non-debtor third-party releases.

The requirement in chapter 9 to negotiate in good faith before filing is satisfied if the parties are ‘simply too far apart,’ says Bankruptcy Judge Chan.

Courts are split on whether Section 109(g)(2) mandates dismissal whenever an individual or family farmer refiles within 180 days, regardless of whether a lift-stay motion prompted dismissal of the first case.

If you want a prejudgment asset freeze, ask for equitable relief and the recovery of specific property, Judge Goldblatt says.

Circuit Judge Thomas Ambro prohibits big companies from filing chapter 11 cases absent ‘financial distress.’

An opinion by Thomas Ambro shows how the Third Circuit won’t cut any slack for nonbankruptcy lawyers when it comes to retention disclosure.

The failure to convert a contingent interest into ownership is not a transfer that could be avoided as a fraudulent transfer.

Although deposed as debtor in possession, the Subchapter V debtor retains the sole power to file a chapter 11 plan.
