On March 7, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court in Estate of Omar Fontana v. ACFB Administração Judicial Ltda.-ME, No. 21-828 (U.S. Mar. 7, 2022), denied a petition for review of a decision by the Eleventh Circuit, In re Transbrasil S.A. Linhas Aéreas, 860 Fed. Appx 166 (11th Cir. 2021). The Eleventh Circuit held that an order denying a motion for a protective order to shield parties from discovery subpoenas in a chapter 15 proceeding was interlocutory and thus not final and appealable.

A chapter 13 bankruptcy allows a defaulted homeowner the unique benefit of saving real property, along with other secured debt. Given the benefits of chapter 13, this particular type of bankruptcy has the ability to help a large mass of people, and as such requires an orderly administration. Chapter 13 Trustees — guided by Code provisions and bankruptcy rules — are the gatekeepers for this administration. While these trustees do a remarkable job in ensuring that debtors, creditors and other entities comply with procedural requirements, occasional oversights are expected.
The decision by the Supreme Court next term in Bartenwerfer will tell us whether debts can be automatically nondischargeable, even when the debtor is without fault.
