Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., which is selling assets to pay creditors another $32 billion by 2016, asked a judge to sign an order barring governments from taking taxes on any deals it strikes with buyers, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. Such an order would "restate" an immunity from taxes that exists under a court-approved liquidation plan, Lehman said. Potential buyers want assurances that Lehman’s property transactions are free from government intervention, according to the court filing.
