The same day the Supreme Court decided to hear Purdue, a district judge on Long Island, N.Y., sent dozens of long-stayed sexual abuse cases back to state court where the debtor is not a named defendant.

The Second Circuit split with the First Circuit, which had permitted nationwide class actions because the discharge injunction is statutory.

Bound by the Third Circuit’s first LTL decision, the bankruptcy court found that LTL’s rejiggered second filing suffered from the same defect: no immediate financial distress.

A repeat filer in chapter 13 must show ‘clear and convincing evidence’ of improved financial condition to warrant an extension of the automatic stay under Section 362(c)(3)(B), Chief Judge Taddonio says.

When the debtor files bankruptcy before the time has elapsed for a creditor to file a cross appeal, the cross appeal is deemed timely when filed within 30 days after the stay terminated, the Tenth Circuit held.

Split 5/4, the Supreme Court rules that denial of a motion to compel arbitration automatically imposes a stay pending appeal.

The Fourth Circuit majority upheld a preliminary injunction barring tort suits against a debtor’s nonbankrupt affiliates following a Texas divisional merger.

At least where nondebtor releases are prohibited, and if Delaware law controls, a suit against an alter ego doesn’t violate the discharge injunction, the Ninth Circuit BAP says.

A two-story commercial condominium wasn’t ‘single asset real estate,’ Judge Mastando holds.

The bankruptcy judge only gave nondebtor J&J companies a more limited stay in the second LTL chapter 11 case.
