Fifth Circuit holds that 28 U.S.C. § 158 requires district judges or BAPs to decide bankruptcy appeals.

The Supreme Court now has two bankruptcy cases on the calendar for argument in the term to begin in October.

BAP doesn’t allow debtors to appeal when a trustee sells their home out from underneath them in a short sale.

Cutting back on knee-jerk invocation of arbitration, the Supreme Court says that agreements to arbitrate are no more enforceable than ordinary contracts.

To establish constitutional standing to appeal, an appellant must seek to overturn the order below, the Sixth Circuit BAP says.

This month, two circuits found no ‘related to’ bankruptcy jurisdiction for climate-change lawsuits against energy companies.

The Eleventh Circuit explained how prudential (or ‘person aggrieved’) standing is a higher standard more difficult to meet than constitutional (or ‘Article III’) standing.

In a case that may be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court at least once more, the Fourth Circuit is subjecting 26 multinational oil companies to the tender mercies of the Maryland state courts.

The Supreme Court is still giving no hints about whether arbitration agreements are enforceable in bankruptcy cases.

A prevailing party can’t appeal arguably erroneous findings.
