Bound by the Third Circuit’s first LTL decision, the bankruptcy court found that LTL’s rejiggered second filing suffered from the same defect: no immediate financial distress.

A trustee’s commissions can’t be based on a percentage of disbursements to the trustee’s own counsel, so says a New Jersey district judge.

Times are a-changin’ when it comes to setoff against exempt assets.

The bankruptcy judge only gave nondebtor J&J companies a more limited stay in the second LTL chapter 11 case.

Judge in New Jersey explains why chapter 11 is the best alternative for a large company to deal with mass torts.

Decisions by the U.S. Trustee are subject to judicial review, Judge Kaplan says.

New Jersey judge says that professionals may not be able to limit liability when malpractice is more than mere negligence.
