    Delaware Bankruptcy Court Rejects Late Filings of Asbestos Claims
    2020-09-18

    Last February, we blogged about the Third Circuit’s decision in In re Energy Future Holdings Corp, No. 19-1430, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 4947 (Feb. 18, 2020). The Third Circuit approved a process for resolving asbestos claims in which a bar date was imposed on filing the claims, but late claimants who were unaware of their asbestos claims would be allowed to have the bar date excused through Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(3). (A bar date is a date set by the court by which all claims against the debtor must be filed.

    Continuing Doubt About the Opt-Out: Uncertainty Reigns Over Third-Party Releases
    2019-12-13

    Whether because of, or in spite of, the proliferating case law it is hard to say, but the issues in, underlying and surrounding third-party releases in Chapter 11 plans just continue to arise with incessant regularity, albeit without a marked increase in clarity. We have posted about those issues here six times in little more than two years,[1] and it is fair to assume that this post will not be the last.

    Delaware Bankruptcy Court Finds that Section 546(e) Does Not Protect Fraudulent Transfers Following Supreme Court’s Ruling in Merit Management
    2019-01-17

    The Bottom Line

    In one of the first applications of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the scope of section 546(e) in Merit Management, Delaware Bankruptcy Court Judge Carey found that section 546(e)’s safe harbor did not apply to fraudulent transfers between two parties that were not financial institutions, even if the transaction passed through financial intermediaries.

    Use of Accounting Term of Art in Arbitration Provision of Asset Purchase Agreement Narrows its Scope in Favor of Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction Over Post-Closing Dispute
    2017-05-26

    The Bottom Line

    The Delaware District Court affirmed the bankruptcy court’s decision that the combination of a narrow arbitration provision and the bankruptcy court’s reservation of jurisdiction warranted denial of a motion to compel arbitration. The specific language of the arbitration provision, combined with the use of an accounting term of art, narrowed the scope of the arbitration provision sufficiently to rebut the presumption of arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act.
