Not your Ordinary Bankruptcy Case
Columbia, South Carolina is hot during the summer, such that the City adopted the motto “Famously Hot” a few years ago. Temperatures frequently exceed 100 degrees in the summer. On June 12, 1987, the PTL Club filed chapter 11 cases in Columbia, adding heat to the already hot City.
The Bankruptcy Protector
For years, small business debtors have struggled with the intricacies of Chapter 11, the debt limitations of Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidations. Stringent requirements and procedural hurdles often made restructuring a prohibitively expensive option for many small business debtors. Congress attempted to address these issues with H.R. 3311, the Small Business Reorganization Act (the “SBRA”). The SBRA, which was signed into law on August 23, 2019, creates a new subchapter, Subchapter V, of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
