The Supreme Court on June 6 issued its opinion in Siegel v. Fitzgerald, holding that Congress’s enactment of a significant fee increase that exempted debtors in two states violated the uniformity requirement of the Bankruptcy Clause of the Constitution. A panel of experts on an ABI media webinar tomorrow at 1 p.m. ET will examine the decision and discuss its potential implications. Panelists include Prof. Stephen J. Lubben of Seton Hall University Law, Clifford J. White, III, former director of the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees and now the managing director for Bankruptcy Compliance at American Infosource, a financial technology company, Judge Melanie L. Cyganowski (ret.) of Otterbourg and Bradley L. Drell of Gold Weems. ABI Editor-at-Large Bill Rochelle will serve as the moderator for the program.
