    FYI: 7th Cir Holds Lender's Inquiry Notice of Fraud Involving Collateral Allows Avoidance of Security Interest in Bankruptcy
    2016-02-01

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit recently held that a lender that is on inquiry notice that its security interest in the collateral had been fraudulently conveyed may lose its secured status.

    However, the Court also held that the lender's negligence here did not amount to "purposeful avoidance of the truth" sufficient to justify application of the doctrine of equitable subordination, which allows a bankruptcy court to reduce the priority of a claim in bankruptcy.

    9th Cir. Holds Party With Pecuniary Interest Has Standing to Appeal Bankruptcy Order
    2018-06-01

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that a party with a pecuniary interest affected by a bankruptcy court order satisfies the “person aggrieved” requirement for appellate standing even where the party fails to appear and object in the bankruptcy proceeding.

    Accordingly, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court’s dismissal of the appeal for lack of standing and remanded the case.

    Illinois App. Court (2nd Dist) Holds FHA’s ‘Face to Face’ Meeting Not Required When Loan Discharged in Bankruptcy
    2017-03-13

    The Appellate Court of Illinois, Second District, recently affirmed summary judgment in favor of a mortgagee that failed to meet the FHA requirement to either have a face-to-face meeting with the borrowers or to make “a reasonable effort” to arrange a face-to-face meeting before filing foreclosure, because doing so would have been a futile act after the borrowers’ mortgage loan debt was discharged in bankruptcy and they did not reaffirm the debt.

    2nd Cir Holds Debtor Can Bring Post-Discharge FDCPA Claims in District Court
    2016-01-24

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently held that a debtor in bankruptcy can pursue claims under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA") in district court for trying to collect a discharged debt, reversing a judgment dismissing the FDCPA claims and requiring the plaintiff seek relief in bankruptcy court.

    Carácter concursal de la deuda de restitución de una subvención preconcursal anulada
    2019-01-15

    Concedida una subvención pública, fue posteriormente anulada en vía administrativa, con resolución que obligaba a devolver su importe. Entretanto el beneficiario de la subvención había sido declarado en concurso. Las dos instancias judiciales entendieron que la deuda de restitución es una deuda de la masa, por haber tenido lugar su devengo después de la declaración de concurso.
