The bankruptcy court in Delaware sided with four circuits by directing the U.S. Trustee to give refunds for overpayment of fees that were not uniform throughout the country.

The Fourth Circuit says that bankruptcy courts have broader jurisdiction than other federal courts and that some of their decisions are unreviewable by Article III courts.

The BAPCPA amendments in 2005 did not abrogate the absolute priority rule for individuals in chapter 11, Bankruptcy Judge Russin says.

The Ninth Circuit BAP affirms that a deferred settlement agreement can’t be assumed under Section 365.

Contesting the election of a chapter 7 trustee isn’t like defending a fee application, which Baker Botts held to be noncompensable.

Delaware’s Judge Craig Goldblatt makes a ‘common-sense judgment’ in deciding whether to allow a prepetition lawsuit to proceed in state court.

The RICO suit by Jay Alix Against McKinsey mostly survived a motion to dismiss.

The lawsuit was under federal law, not state law, even though Section 544(b)(1) incorporated state fraudulent transfer law.

With four circuits in agreement, the Supreme Court isn’t likely to grant cert to rule on whether chapter 11 debtors are entitled to refunds for overpayment of U.S. Trustees fees that were held unconstitutional in Siegel.

The Fourth Circuit declined to follow the First and Sixth Circuits on preemption of automatic stay violations by expanding the ban to redress for discharge violations.
