Avoidance Actions Are Estate Property that May Be Sold, the Fifth Circuit Says

The Fifth Circuit answered one of the two questions being posed at this year’s Duberstein Moot Court Competition.

I'm on the Uniform Law Commission's Drafting Committee for a uniform law on assignments for benefit of creditors. I'll discuss the uniform law process and provide information on assignment for benefit of creditors issues, how those issues relate to bankruptcy, and the potential for a uniform law thereon. Under the laws of most states, assignment for benefit of creditors ("ABC") is an unutilized, or under-utilized, tool. That's because most states either, (i) have no ABC statute, or (ii) have ABC statutes with poison-pill provisions that no one wants to use. I'll discuss how a uniform law will make the ABC tool available and usable and its connection with bankruptcy. Business Suggested Speakers
