Consumer Bankruptcy Reform: Debtors' Prison Without Bars Or "Just Desserts" For Deadbeats?, Robert J. Landry Iii, Nancy Hisey Mardis
Consumer Bankruptcy Reform: Debtors' Prison Without Bars Or "Just Desserts" For Deadbeats?, Robert J. Landry Iii, Nancy Hisey Mardis
Golden Gate University Law Review
This article provides an overview of current bankruptcy law and filing trends in the United States. It then provides an overview of the major changes to consumer bankruptcy and further analyzes several of the more controversial areas of the new law, placing them in historical context and exploring the possible ramifications of these dramatically sweeping changes. Such changes are illustrated by the journey of hypothetical debtors, Ura and Ima Broke, through the new bankruptcy maze. This illustration shows the complexity and inconsistency of the amended Bankruptcy Code. Examining the reform from the vantage point of hypothetical debtors shows how the …

Bankruptcy Law - In Re Mitchell: Standards Of Valuation In Chapter 13 Proceedings Under 11 U.S.C. § 506(A), Edwin S. Clark
Golden Gate University Law Review
In re Mitchel marks the first examination by a circuit court of valuation standards used in Chapter 13 proceedings to establish the value of a creditor's secured claim in a vehicle. In Mitchell, the Ninth Circuit held that the standard to be applied in most cases is a vehicle's wholesale values and that any other standard, such as retail value, should be applied only where the debtor uses a vehicle as part of a going concern. This note will show that the Mitchell majority arrived at its rule by grounding its analysis in well-settled bankruptcy philosophy& and by strictly construing …

Running The Gauntlet Of "Undue Hardship" - The Discharge Of Student Loans In Bankruptcy, Janice E. Kosel
Running The Gauntlet Of "Undue Hardship" - The Discharge Of Student Loans In Bankruptcy, Janice E. Kosel
Golden Gate University Law Review
To remedy supposed abuse, a proposal was made which ultimately was enacted as section 523(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978. Henceforth, such student loans would be dischargeable in bankruptcy only if "such loan first became due before five years. . . before the date of the filing of the petition; or . . . excepting such debt from discharge . . . will impose an undue hardship on the debtor and the debtor's dependents... ' This Article will first examine the legislative history of that provision and then review the case law implementing and interpreting the undue hardship …
Race, Educational Loans & Bankruptcy, Abbye Atkinson
Race, Educational Loans & Bankruptcy, Abbye Atkinson
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Article reports new data from the 2007 Consumer Bankruptcy Project revealing that college graduates and specifically White graduates are less likely to file for bankruptcy than their counterparts without a college degree. Although these observations suggest that a college degree helps graduates to weather the setbacks that sometimes lead to financial hardship as measured by bankruptcy, they also indicate that a college degree may not help everyone equally. African American college graduates are equally likely to file for bankruptcy as African Americans without a college degree. Thus, a college education may not confer the same protective benefit against financial …
Ukrainian Bankruptcy Law In The Context Of Regional And International Developments, Alexander Biryukov
Ukrainian Bankruptcy Law In The Context Of Regional And International Developments, Alexander Biryukov
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
During the period of Soviet rule there was no need for private law remedies to regulate economic relations, particular in the area of bankruptcy. After the Soviet Union's collapse, former republics and newly independent states started developing market-oriented laws to support democratization process. Due to Ukraine's lack of any bankruptcy legislation during the last century, 1992 marked the starting point of bankruptcy law formation in the country. The formation of bankruptcy laws in Ukraine and other countries in the region may be traced to two stages of development: "first wave" laws passed in 1990 through 1993, and "second wave" laws …
An Overview Of Insolvency Proceedings In Asia, Leslie A. Burton
An Overview Of Insolvency Proceedings In Asia, Leslie A. Burton
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
This paper gives an overview of current bankruptcy (insolvency) proceedings in Asia. It will explain the existing laws, which are generally old and too outmoded to resolve modem cross-border debtor/creditor disputes. It will explore cultural attitudes which have both inhibited use of the existing laws and prevented meaningful changes to them. It will discuss how the changing structure of the market makes bankruptcy proceedings more common today than in the past, and appears to be leading many countries to revamp their bankruptcy laws. This paper will focus on the bankruptcy laws of eight Asian countries: Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, …

Toward An International Bankruptcy Policy In Europe: Four Decades In Search Of A Treaty, Leslie A. Burton
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
As multinational trade has increased, so has the need for crossborder insolvency agreements. For forty years, the European Community and European Union have attempted to agree on cross-border insolvency procedures. The author explores the history of these efforts, the policy issues which have made agreement difficult, and the demise of the EUs best hope for a cross-border insolvency agreement: the failed 1995 Convention. Finally, she compares past and current proposals, and explains why they are inferior solutions to the failed Convention.

Bankruptcy, James D. Walker Jr., Amber Nickell
Mercer Law Review
I. INTRODUCTION
In 2009 the country entered into a significant recession, but bankruptcy law-perhaps surprisingly-remained relatively static, at least in the Eleventh Circuit. On a national level, things were a bit more interesting; the Chrysler bankruptcy was much discussed in the media and there was a renewed interest in allowing individuals to modify primary residence mortgages in bankruptcy. Still, even the collapse of the housing market could not move Congress to amend the Bankruptcy Code. Despite the action on a national level, in the Eleventh Circuit it was business as usual with a year that can best be described as …
Why Banks Are Not Allowed In Bankruptcy, Richard M. Hynes, Steven D. Walt
Why Banks Are Not Allowed In Bankruptcy, Richard M. Hynes, Steven D. Walt
Washington and Lee Law Review
Unlike most other countries, the United States uses different Procedures to resolve insolvent banks and nonbank firms. The Bankruptcy Code divides control over nonbank firms among the various claimants, and a judge supervises the resolution process. By contrast, the FDIC acts as the receiver for an insolvent bank and has almost complete con trol. Other claimants can sue the FDIC, but they cannot obtain injunctive relief and their damages are limited to the amount that they would have received in liquidation. The FDIC has acted as the receiver of insolvent banks since the Great Depression, and the concentration of power …
Assessing The Chrysler Bankruptcy, Mark J. Roe, David Skeel
Assessing The Chrysler Bankruptcy, Mark J. Roe, David Skeel
Michigan Law Review
Chrysler entered and exited bankruptcy in forty-two days, making it one of the fastest major industrial bankruptcies in memory. It entered as a company widely thought to be ripe for liquidation if left on its own, obtained massive funding from the United States Treasury, and exited via a pseudo-sale of its main assets to a new government-funded entity. The unevenness of the compensation to prior creditors raised concerns in capital markets, which we evaluate here. We conclude that the Chrysler bankruptcy cannot be understood as complying with good bankruptcy practice, that it resurrected discredited practices long thought interred in the …

Bankruptcy Reform And Economic Recovery, G. Ray Warner
Bankruptcy Reform And Economic Recovery, G. Ray Warner
Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development
(Excerpt)
In 2005, following years of intensive lobbying by the consumer credit industry, the focus of the consumer bankruptcy law was changed from the liberal debtor-focused "fresh start" approach embodied in the 1978 Bankruptcy Code to a creditor-focused "can pay/must pay" approach. Although the shift to a can pay/must pay system started years earlier to address perceived abuses, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA") completed that shift by engrafting onto the bankruptcy law a fairly strict and largely objective test for determining a debtor's ability to repay debt and by setting forth channeling rules designed …
Nothing Natural About It: Still Searching For A Solution To The Chapter 11 Stamp Tax Exemption, Lindsay K. Taft
Nothing Natural About It: Still Searching For A Solution To The Chapter 11 Stamp Tax Exemption, Lindsay K. Taft
Seattle University Law Review
In June of 2008, in Florida Department of Revenue v. Piccadilly Cafeterias, Inc., the Supreme Court settled a circuit split and issued a bright line rule stating that asset transfers made prior to the confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization no longer benefit from certain tax exemptions. As a result, the cost of selling assets in a bankruptcy case outside of a plan will increase. The provision at issue in the case, which exempts asset transfers and sales from certain state taxes, contains language ambiguous enough that four federal circuit courts have contemplated which types of asset …
