Without Reservation: Ensuring Uniform Treatment In Bankruptcy While Keeping In Mind The Interests Of Native American Individuals And Tribes, Connor D. Hicks
Without Reservation: Ensuring Uniform Treatment In Bankruptcy While Keeping In Mind The Interests Of Native American Individuals And Tribes, Connor D. Hicks
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
The Bankruptcy Code (“Code”) exists as a mechanism for good faith debtors to discharge debts and seek a “fresh start” in life and finance. 11 U.S.C. § 106(a) ensures that not only are all debtors treated uniformly, but that all creditors, including governmental creditors which may otherwise enjoy immunity from suit, are equally subject to the jurisdiction of Bankruptcy courts and bound to the provisions of the Code.
However, a recent circuit split has demonstrated one niche yet significant instance in which a debtor may not receive the same treatment as their counterparts. While § 106 contains an express waiver …
Riding The Wave: Fairness For Foreign Investors In India’S Impending Insolvency Tsunami, Nicole Mecca
Riding The Wave: Fairness For Foreign Investors In India’S Impending Insolvency Tsunami, Nicole Mecca
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
Reminiscent of the warning signs of a tsunami, bankruptcy and insolvency courts across the globe have been eerily calm despite unprecedented conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The full extent of the pandemic’s effect, including a tidal wave of wide-spread corporate and financial sector harm and wide-spread economic distress, remains to be seen. Much like victims of natural disasters, unsuspecting and increasingly delayed courts will find themselves totally overwhelmed. The inconvenience felt by the courts is distinct, however, from potential harm to financial investors. Although investors could also be harmed by these judicial conditions, they knowingly assumed certain financial risk when …
Emerging Circuit Split Over Modification Of Mortgages On Multi-Use Real Properties, Michal Zabadal
Emerging Circuit Split Over Modification Of Mortgages On Multi-Use Real Properties, Michal Zabadal
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
For many decades, healthy levels of residential mortgage loans (“RMLs”) and their regulation have been among the major drivers of the economy. Because of the importance of RMLs for the condition of the national financial system and the general well-being of the society, it is essential that lenders are reasonably incentivized to originate these loans. A well-designed promise of higher recovery on RMLs in times of distress can be a compelling motivator. The Bankruptcy Code seeks to deliver on that promise by treating RMLs more favorably. It does that by barring the debtor-in-bankruptcy from modifying a claim secured by a …
What We “Know” About Chapter 11 Cost Is Wrong, Stephen J. Lubben
What We “Know” About Chapter 11 Cost Is Wrong, Stephen J. Lubben
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
Among the collective wisdom about large corporate bankruptcy cases, the following points are almost undisputed: Longer chapter 11 cases cost more; prepackaged chapter 11 cases cost less; cases filed in New York or Delaware cost more; and fee examiners control the costs of big chapter 11 cases. But each of these points is wrong, and in most cases entirely backward. This Article provides empirical evidence to show why. Ultimately, I argue that the complexity of the bankruptcy and the compensation structure of the professionals retained (which may itself reflect further aspects of complexity) are the key determinants of cost. The …
Lessons For Competition Law From The Economic Crisis: The Prospect For Antitrust Responses To The “Too-Big-To-Fail” Phenomenon, Jesse W. W. Markham, Jr.
Lessons For Competition Law From The Economic Crisis: The Prospect For Antitrust Responses To The “Too-Big-To-Fail” Phenomenon, Jesse W. W. Markham, Jr.
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
This article examines whether, and the extent to which, antitrust law could contribute to a broader regulatory effort to control the too-big-to-fail problem. The article begins by exploring the nature of the problem. Against this backdrop, it considers antitrust policy and rules to evaluate whether antitrust might play a meaningful role. The article concludes that antitrust law, if vigorously enforced with an emphasis on avoiding too-big-to-fail problems, can be a useful public policy tool to address the problem. However, it can come nowhere near solving it or preventing recurrences of recent systemic failures.
Bankruptcy’S Protection For Non-Debtors From Securities Fraud Litigation, John M. M. Wunderlich
Bankruptcy’S Protection For Non-Debtors From Securities Fraud Litigation, John M. M. Wunderlich
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
Given the recent economic climate, the judiciary faces an all too familiar challenge: navigate through the web that is bankruptcy and securities fraud. So far, bankruptcy has evolved into a tool to resolve mass tort litigation, like securities fraud. However, this Article explores bankruptcy as a tool to resolve securities litigation against non-debtors, those that never file for bankruptcy protection. The protection the Bankruptcy Code provides to non-debtors, like officers and directors, goes largely unnoticed, much to the detriment of securities fraud victims. Mindful that we now are in the midst of another financial crisis and that attention will slowly …
