ABI’S
NEWEST PUBLICATIONS ASSIST LENDERS, COMMERCIAL PROPERTY STAKEHOLDERS IN
UNDERSTANDING THEIR ROLES IN BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
size='3'>September 10, 2008, Alexandria, Va.
— The American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) recently released two
new publications-
size='3'>Bankruptcy-A Survival Guide for Lenders, Second
Editionand Bankruptcy Issues for Commercial Landlords, Tenants and
Mortgagees, Second Edition.
size='3'>The Survival
Guide for Lenders was developed specifically
to assist lenders in understanding the bankruptcy process in business
and consumer cases, and their role in that process. This updated edition
addresses the changes with the 2005 amendments to the bankruptcy law and
covers substantive bankruptcy issues, procedures and strategies for
lenders. The
size='3'>Guide features practical advice in
the form of 'sidebars' geared toward the protection of lenders'
interests during a bankruptcy case, and glossaries of both bankruptcy
terms and bankruptcy cases, as well as a list of commonly asked
questions. Written with the nonattorney in mind, the text
cross-references relevant terms and cases in the glossaries for further
information, and highlights special points throughout.
size='3'>The 176-page softbound manual is available for $30 for ABI
members and $50 for non-members.
size='3'>Bankruptcy Issues for Commercial Landlords, Tenants and
Mortgagees, Second Edition, written by
David R. Kuney of Sidley Austin, LLP (Washington,
D.C.), provides a comprehensive look at the rights and obligations of
tenants, landlords and third parties in real estate bankruptcies. The
book has been updated to add new cases and issues arising under BAPCPA
as well as in other areas where there has been significant development
of the law, including letters of credit, landlord claims and the
calculation of the statutory cap for such claims. The book also covers
lease assumption, rejection, curing of defaults, damage calculations and
pre-petition strategies, among other matters. The
150-page softbound manual is available for $25 for ABI members and $45
for non-members.
