Bankruptcy Judge Paul Baisier of Atlanta disagreed with Bankruptcy Judge Craig Goldblatt of Delaware about requiring creditors to vote before they are saddled with nondebtor releases in chapter 11 plans.

In the Third Circuit, it’s possible to cure a payment default under a chapter 13 play beyond five years, district judge says in affirming the bankruptcy court.

The same district judge who correctly predicted that Purdue’s nonconsensual releases were prohibited has nonetheless upheld a preliminary injunction barring suits against nondebtors.

The definition of ‘small business’ uses the word ‘activities,’ not ‘operations,’ making nonoperating small business eligible for Subchapter V.
