A contested matter in bankruptcy court isn’t a ‘civil action’ allowing the debtor to recover attorneys’ fees from the U.S. Trustee under the Equal Access to Justice Act.

The length of time before filing a motion to extend the appeal-filing deadline isn’t dipositive under Rule 8002(d)(1)(B).

District judge explains why veil-piercing is easier to prove in Michigan than elsewhere.

Even though received within 180 days of filing, a distribution from an IRA to a death beneficiary does not become estate property.

Impliedly overruling the law in five circuits, the Supreme Court changed the rules for deciding when a deadline is jurisdictional, the Sixth Circuit says.

The Supreme Court is considering whether to review another case defining the safe harbor in Section 546(e).

Even after the statute of limitations has run, a trustee may be substituted for the debtor as the real party in interest, Michigan district judge says.

The parties judged the chapter 11 case a success, even though unsecured creditors got zilch.

Detroit’s Judge Randon holds that a chapter 13 plan’s five-year duration begins to run from the first payment, not from confirmation.

Agreeing to bidding procedures can waive the right to make the Section 1111(b) election, Judge Hoffman says.
