    11th Cir. Finds No Irreconcilable Conflict Between FDCPA and Bankruptcy Code
    2016-05-27

    In a much-anticipated follow-up to its 2014 decision in Crawford v. LVNV Funding, LLC, 738 F.3d 1254 (11th Cir. 2014), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit recently held that there is no irreconcilable conflict between the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Bankruptcy Code.

    2015-12-13

    The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey recently dismissed a debtor's claims for violations of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the New Jersey Truth in Consumer Contract Warranty and Notice Act (TCCWNA), holding the debtor's failure to schedule his lawsuit as an asset of his bankruptcy estate deprived him of standing to later assert the claims.

    Collector’s sanctions motion backfires in Florida Federal Court
    2015-12-07

    The U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida recently denied a debt collector’s motion for sanctions based on the plaintiff’s filing of allegedly frivolous consumer protection claims, which the plaintiff consumer voluntarily dismissed with prejudice after demand from the debt collector’s counsel, where the debt collector failed to show the claims met the Eleventh Circuit’s two-prong test for frivolity.

    Condiciones para apreciar la existencia de una situación de control de una sociedad sobre otra
    2018-12-05

    Las Sentencias del Tribunal Supremo de 10 de julio y 31 de octubre de 2018 [RJ 2018/2814 y RJ 2018/4729] han debido decidir si una sociedad (TIP) ostentaba el control sobre otra (TRECAM) a los efectos de determinar si esta segunda pertenecía al grupo de la socia única (CAM) de la primera (lo que resultaba relevante para la calificación en el concurso de TRECAM de los créditos de CAM y de otra filial íntegramente participada de esta ultima entidad).

    Adquisición de unidad productiva en concurso y extensión de responsabilidades laborales
    2018-11-13

    La competencia del orden social para declarar una sucesión de empresas en caso de adquisición de unidad productiva en concurso no parece albergar duda alguna para la Sala de lo Social del Tribunal Supremo. A tal fin, se imponen la aplicación de la norma laboral, las consecuencias derivadas sobre la responsabilidad solidaria de empresa adquirente y transmitente en toda su extensión —para contratos vigentes y deudas derivadas de contratos ya extinguidos— y la inviabilidad, en tal caso, de la exoneración contenida en el plan de liquidación.
