    DISH Network, LIN settle carriage dispute, as bankruptcy court approves DISH bid for DBSD
    2011-03-18

    There was good news on two fronts this week for direct broadcast satellite (DBS) operator DISH Network. On Sunday, DISH settled a retransmission dispute with LIN Media with the signing of a new carriage contract that restored to DISH subscribers LIN broadcast network signals that were cut off on March 5. That development was followed by a New York bankruptcy court’s decision on Tuesday to approve a revised agreement through which DISH would acquire the assets of bankrupt mobile satellite services (MSS) provider DBSD North America for $1.5 billion.

    TOUSA continued: district court awards second victory to lenders
    2011-03-17

    We reported to you last month a significant development in the matter of In re TOUSA USA, when the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida issued its opinion and order reversing the controversial holdings of the Bankruptcy Court in the TOUSA chapter 11 case as to the so-called “Transeastern Lenders,” a group of lenders who had previously been ordered to disgorge nearly ½ billion dollars received in repayment of indebtedness which the Court found constituted a fraudulent transfer under Sections 548 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code.

    Gifting
    2011-03-22

    For over 30 years, most bankruptcy courts have approved plans where the secured lender “gifts” a distribution to a junior class in order to obtain a consensual plan. These courts note that the distribution is from the secured lender’s property (not estate property) and the secured lender can do what it wants with its own property.
