The government lost a winnable appeal by failing to present evidence in bankruptcy court.

Will there be occasions where the government must pay a debtor’s counsel’s fees when a U.S. Trustee unsuccessfully opposes a debtor’s initiative?

The power to order disgorgement of fees arose under Section 105(a), not from Sections 330 or 331.

Agreeing to bidding procedures can waive the right to make the Section 1111(b) election, Judge Hoffman says.

Pragmatic opinion by Circuit Judge Ambro allows cramdown to achieve ‘rough justice.’

Private charity is not considered to be part of a debtor’s income under the first part of the Brunner test.

Although Social Security benefits are not subject to the “operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law,” judge says they can be considered in deciding whether someone should be allowed to confirm a chapter 13 plan or have a chapter 7 case dismissed for ‘abuse.’

With deadlines already elapsed, Judge Grossman disagrees with three judges who allowed redesignation under subchapter V of chapter 11.
