Sale of Personally Identifiable Information in Bankruptcy, Misconduct by a Foreign Representative During a Chapter 15 Proceeding and More Featured in the Winter 2019 Edition of the ABI Law Review

Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

Alexandria, Va. — The American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) Winter 2019 Law Review (Volume 27, No. 1) features four articles that examine a number of timely insolvency topics. The lead article takes a look at the Bankruptcy Code’s requirements for a debtor's sale of personally identifiable information in bankruptcy. Additional articles cover misconduct by a foreign representative during a chapter 15 cross-border insolvency proceeding, a view of all of the courts of appeals' current decisions analyzing Stern as a challenge to the bankruptcy judge's authority to determine a given proceeding and an explanation of why it makes no economic sense for the Code’s requirement for unmatured interest to be counted as debt.

Articles include:

  • “The Sale of Personally Identifiable Information in Bankruptcy” by Michael St. Patrick Baxter of Covington & Burling LLP (Washington, D.C.).
     
  • “Crossing the Line in Cross-Border Bankruptcies” by Jonathan C. Gordon of Jones Day (Chicago).  
     
  • “Constitutional Authority of Bankruptcy Judges: The Effects of Stern v. Marshall as Applied by the Courts of Appeals” by Mawerdi Hamid, law clerk to the Hon. Robert Kressel, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge, District of Minnesota (Minneapolis).
     
  • “Too Much Insolvency: ‘Unmatured Interest’ and ‘Debt’ Under the Code” by J.B. Heaton, P.C. (Chicago).

ABI’s Law Review, published in conjunction with St. Johns University School of Law in Jamaica, N.Y., is among the most cited and respected scholarly publications in the bankruptcy community. Now in its 27th year, it has the largest circulation of any bankruptcy law review. Past issues of the Law Review have focused on a variety of timely insolvency issues, including chapter 11 reform, distressed sectors, single-asset cases, consumer bankruptcy, revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other topics.

Members of the press looking to obtain any of the articles from the Winter 2019 issue should contact John Hartgen at 703-894-5935 or jhartgen@abiworld.org.
