An involuntary petitioner whose claim was paid after filing is still counted as an involuntary petitioner, the Ninth Circuit BAP says.

The expiration of Section 1329(d) in March 2022 means that 84-month chapter 13 plans amended now must revert to 60-month plans.

Once affirmed in the Ninth Circuit, the debtor could file a petition for certiorari to resolve an important circuit split on assumption of intellectual property contracts.

Arbitration was denied over a trustee’s claim objection based on the lender’s violation of state usury laws.

In a split decision, the Ninth Circuit majority held that a chapter 13 debtor has the right to dismiss under Section 1307(b) before the bankruptcy court decides whether the filing was in good faith.

Alter ego claims belong to the creditor, not to the bankrupt estate.

A trustee has standing and a claim for fraudulent transfer just because a fraudulent transfer erodes assets of the bankrupt estate.

When a lien is undersecured, the avoided portion of the lien takes nothing through preservation until the unavoidable portion of the lien is paid in full.

Debtors paid a high price for their counsel’s inattention to their needs after plan confirmation.

A Ninth Circuit dissenter would require the trier of fact to make a finding that the fraudster acted with actual intent to defraud.
