Claims Reconciliation

The Bankruptcy Code and Non-Bankruptcy law preserve or limit claims at the outset of the case and after confirmation of a plan during the claim reconciliation process. For example, claims arising from the purchase of perishable fruits and vegetables are accorded certain treatment in a bankruptcy case under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act or claims governed by applicable sales tax statutes. Claims arising from employees are given priority (but capped) and claims arising from the rejection of a real property lease or employment contract are capped. This panel will consider the claim reconciliation process during a bankruptcy case and the the Bankruptcy Code and Non-Bankruptcy law affect those claims.
