The Res Judicata Effect Of Bankruptcy Court Judgments: The Procedural And Constitutional Concerns, George A. Martinez
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
This article seeks to resolve the conflict in the circuits and argues that bankruptcy court judgments should not bar the assertion of non-core claims because to do so violates the basic principles of res judicata and threatens to undermine fundamental Article III values or create judicial inefficiencies in an effort to preserve such values.
Part II of the article provides the relevant Article III background, and identifies the key Article III cases: Northern Pipeline Construction Company v. Marathon Pipe Line Company and Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. Schor. This section explores the impact of Northern Pipeline which held that the …
