    General Growth Properties bankruptcy court upholds ipso facto loan provisions and awards secured creditors postpetition default interest
    2011-10-20

    In two recent decisions in the General Growth Properties, Inc., et al. chapter 11 cases, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York upheld certain loan provisions which provided for an automatic event of default and imposition of a default rate of interest upon the commencement of a bankruptcy case, and held that certain creditors were entitled to receive postpetition interest at the contractual default rate.  General Growth Properties, Inc. and its affiliated debtors own, develop, and operate regional shopping malls across the United States.

    The Second Circuit interprets the Bankruptcy Code’s safe harbor provisions more broadly than the Bankruptcy Court
    2011-07-27

    The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has now weighed in on the Bankruptcy Code’s safe harbor provisions. In Enron Creditors Recovery Corp. v. Alfa, S.A.B. de C.V., Docket Nos. 09–5122, 09–5142, 2011 WL 2536101 (2d Cir. June 28, 2011), the Second Circuit Court of Appeals faced an issue of first impression—whether Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, which shields certain payments from avoidance actions in bankruptcy, extends to an issuer’s payment to redeem its commercial paper made before maturity.
