Under binding circuit precedent, a Delaware district judge ruled that an order denying a motion to dismiss a chapter 11 case is final and appealable.

By referring to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, the appellant might have won an appeal where the bankruptcy court effectively set aside an erroneous decision by a state court regarding discharge.

The Sixth Circuit explains how to appeal when the automatic stay prevents an order in a multi-defendant suit from becoming a final order.

The Fifth Circuit used Section 363(m) to avoid ruling on equitable mootness following consummation of a chapter 11 plan.

Extending statutes of limitations does not affect ‘substantive’ rights, thus the Rules Enabling Act does not preclude a rule from allowing an extension, Judge Julie Manning says.

Any day now, the Second Circuit could create a split of circuits importuning the Supreme Court to decide whether chapter 13 trustees are paid fees even if no plan is confirmed.

Can Section 327(c) be unconstitutional as applied if it deprives shareholders of standing when the estate might be solvent?

A stipulated dismissal, even with prejudice, doesn’t mean that the claims were ‘actually litigated’ for the purpose of claim preclusion, the Sixth Circuit says.

If the requisites for a preliminary injunction are met, a trustee might be able to freeze some of a preference defendant’s assets when a prejudgment attachment is not available.

Absent a provision in the plan to the contrary, creditors aren’t given estate assets recovered after the final plan payment.
