Hot Issues in the Ongoing Third Party Release Debates

Hosted by the Business Reorganization & Unsecured Trade Creditors Committees

This webinar will discuss various issues and recent developments regarding releases of non-debtors under chapter 11 plans. Issues for discussion will include differences among the Circuits regarding the availability of and standards applicable to such releases, potential jurisdictional and constitutional considerations regarding such releases, possible differences between chapter 11 and chapter 9 regarding this issue, the permissibility of using an “opt-out” approach for plan releases, and potential implications of the ever-broader definitional provisions delineating the scope of such releases.
