    Possession of a Debtor’s Property After a Bankruptcy Filing May…or May Not…Be a Stay Violation
    2021-11-01

    A person in possession of a debtor’s property upon a bankruptcy filing now has more guidance from the Supreme Court as to the effect of the automatic stay. In City of Chicago, Illinois v. Fulton, 141 S. Ct. 585 (2021), handed down on January 14 of 2021, the Court was faced with the issue of whether the City of Chicago (the “City”) was liable for violation of the automatic stay for refusing to return vehicles it impounded pre-petition. Issuing a narrow decision under Section 362(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Court held that it was not.

    2020-07-31

    Bankruptcy experts are applauding a proposed change to the Paycheck Protection Program that will allow small business debtors to access loans under federal COVID-19 relief packages, correcting what they say was a mistake in early versions of the aid program that left bankrupt companies without a valuable tool for surviving the pandemic.

    Don’t Trust Everyone You Meet on the Internet: “National Bankruptcy Law Firm” Sanctioned in Multiple Jurisdictions for Harming Distressed Consumers
    2018-10-22

    At a time when having groceries delivered to your front door is as easy as a couple of taps and swipes on your phone, it is tempting to rely exclusively on the Internet for solutions to all of our problems. However, convenience and adequacy do not always go hand-in-hand, especially when it comes to legal representation. Such is the case with UpRight Law, LLC, a “national consumer bankruptcy law firm.” UpRight relies heavily on non-lawyer “client consultants” who dispense legal advice to clients and help to farm out the cases to local attorneys.

    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

    In the case of In re Ricky L. Moore (19-01228), the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Iowa taught an important lesson in the context of Chapter 12 bankruptcy cases[1]: do not rely on repeated assurances of payment from a friendly debtor in lieu of filing your bankruptcy proof of claim.
