Today, Senator Elizabeth Warren unveiled her new plan to reform the consumer bankruptcy system. The plan is simple, yet elegant. It is based on actual data and research (including some of my own with Consumer Bankruptcy Project co-investigators Slipster Bob Lawless, former Slipster, now Congresswoman Katie Porter, and former Slipster Debb Thorne).

Difficult, but not impossible, as we reminded our readers in a prior blog post: There is Such a Thing as a “Material Adverse Effect:” Delaware Court Supports Buyer’s Right to Terminate. It may be even more difficult for a purchaser to terminate an asset purchase agreement in a bankruptcy situation in comparison to other contexts because there is already a court with knowledge of the facts that will be ready to enforce the agreement against the purchaser without a requirement to initiate a new lawsuit or develop the facts in depth.

On the surface, attorney Stuart Maples is a highly respected bankruptcy and business attorney who practices throughout Alabama. He is, of course, all that, but indulge me as I paint a picture of how I see Stuart in my mind, in light of my knowledge of my law partner, Brad Botes’ background.
