Decisions by the U.S. Trustee are subject to judicial review, Judge Kaplan says.

Part-time self-employment, coupled with debt from a defunct business, qualified the debtor for reorganization under Subchapter V of chapter 11.

When drafting a statute, Congress cannot ‘think of every single esoteric possibility,’ Judge Mignault says.

Utah’s Judge Thurman says that a corporation liquidating its remaining assets is engaged in business ‘activities’ and is therefore eligible for Subchapter V.

A fast-food worker can (conceivably) qualify as a small business debtor under Subchapter V, according to Bankruptcy Judge Thomas B. McNamara.

The owner of defunct businesses was held ineligible to be a small business debtor because he was no longer the owner of an operating business. Being a non-owner executive of an operating business didn’t qualify him.

An appeal from a critical vendor order was dismissed as equitably moot.

Judge Grabill would have given commercial creditors either their own committee or special counsel given the different interests of sexual abuse claimants.

More than 600 cases have already been filed under the SBRA since subchapter V of chapter 11 became effective in February.

The SBRA can be used to extinguish a creditors’ committee previously appointed in a ‘traditional’ chapter 11 case.
