The Lease Of All Evils: How A Middle-Ground Approach Can Resolve The Bankruptcy Code Conflict Between Section 363(F) Sales And Section 365(H) Lessee Protections, Kate Christensen
The Lease Of All Evils: How A Middle-Ground Approach Can Resolve The Bankruptcy Code Conflict Between Section 363(F) Sales And Section 365(H) Lessee Protections, Kate Christensen
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
The Fifth Circuit’s recent decision in In re Royal St. Bistro, LLC has awakened an unsettled issue in the Bankruptcy Code that has divided the bankruptcy community for over two decades. The question examined by the Fifth Circuit was whether a non-debtor lessee with a right to continued possession through section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code loses this right if the debtor-lessor can sell its property “free and clear” under section 363(f). While early decisions held that section 365(h) always protects lessees against debtors’ free and clear sales, some subsequent decisions created a circuit split by ruling that section 365(h) …
Protection Of The Rights Of The Creditors And The Debtor In The Process Of Financial Reorganization And Structuring Of Troubled Companies: A Comparative Study On The 2016 Uae Bankruptcy Law, French And American Legislations, Alaa Khasawneh
UAEU Law Journal
This study deals with the protection of creditors and the debtor in accordance with the methods of saving and assisting troubled companies approved by the UAE Act of bankruptcy of 2016, as the legislator of the UAE in this law aimed to solve the difficulties faced by troubled companies and to protect them from bankruptcy and its negative consequences, This means raises problems about the extent of the protection afforded to the creditors compared to that afforded to the interests of the debtor, where legislator treated it with special care and subjected to special procedures differ from bankruptcy proceedings, and …
Resolving Corporate Insolvencies In China: The Gap Between Law And Reality, Dr. Zhang Zinian
Resolving Corporate Insolvencies In China: The Gap Between Law And Reality, Dr. Zhang Zinian
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
This article examines how corporate insolvencies in China, the second largest economy, are handled under the current legislation, the China Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of 2006. Relying on the fresh empirical data arising from the first ten years on the use of China’s three insolvency procedures, reorganization, composition and liquidation, this article reveals the huge gap between the law in the books and the law in action, arguing that the implementation of this law in China perhaps has not achieved the legislative objectives. The constitutional and institutional weaknesses affecting the application of this law are analyzed

Lost In Translation: Till V. Scs Credit Corp. And The Mistaken Transfer Of A Consumer Bankruptcy Repayment Formula To Chapter 11 Reorganizations, Mark J. Thompson, Katie M. Mcdonough
Lost In Translation: Till V. Scs Credit Corp. And The Mistaken Transfer Of A Consumer Bankruptcy Repayment Formula To Chapter 11 Reorganizations, Mark J. Thompson, Katie M. Mcdonough
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
This Article argues that courts overseeing chapter 11 cases have been mistakenly invoking the Supreme Court’s 2004 decision in Till v. SCS Credit Corp.—which specified a consumer-friendly formula for setting the interest rate on the remaining payments on a loan that financed a used pickup truck—at the expense of over a century of Supreme Court precedents that established the contrastingly creditor friendly “fair and equitable” standard for repayment of business debts, as well as disregarding a clear statutory distinction between the present value tests in chapters 11 and 13. This Article also discusses the controversial 2014 decision in Momentive Performance …

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 Vérité, Lynn M. Lopucki, Joseph W. Doherty
Bankruptcy Vérité, Lynn M. Lopucki, Joseph W. Doherty
Michigan Law Review
In the empirical study we report in Bankruptcy Fire Sales, we compared the recoveries from the going-concern bankruptcy sales of twenty-five large, public companies with the recoveries from the bankruptcy reorganizations of thirty large, public companies. We found that, controlling for the asset size of the company and its presale or pre-reorganization earnings ("EBITDA"), reorganization recoveries were more than double sale recovenes. We are honored that Professor James J. White has chosen to comment on our study. White is an eloquent defender of the status quo, pulls no punches, and always has something interesting to say. Bankruptcy Noir is …

Chapter 11 Reorganization Cases And The Delaware Myth, Harvey R. Miller
Chapter 11 Reorganization Cases And The Delaware Myth, Harvey R. Miller
Vanderbilt Law Review
Since the mid-1990s, there has been a spirited debate concerning the emergence of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Delaware Bankruptcy Court") as the virtual Chapter 11 capital for distressed debtor corporations. The "Delawarization" of corporate reorganizations under title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), which occurred during the 1990s as a result of the migration of Chapter 11 cases of large enterprises from other venues to Delaware, has provoked a stream of academic articles debating the consequences of Delaware's emergence. Armed with statistics purporting to demonstrate a high rate of recidivism …

The Failure Of Public Company Bankruptcies In Delaware And New York: Empirical Evidence Of A "Race To The Bottom", Lynn M. Lopucki, Sara D. Kalin
Vanderbilt Law Review
Commentators sometimes recognize Delaware's preeminence in corporate law, but they almost invariably treat Delaware's recent popularity as a bankruptcy venue choice as raising entirely different issues. In fact, the two are integrally related. Specifically, just as the efforts of Delaware and other states to attract corporations--a process often referred to as "charter competition'-has induced Delaware to regulate corporate law in a generally efficient manner, the same forces will have a beneficial effect on Delaware's bankruptcy judges

The Carryforward Of Net Operating Losses And Other Tax Attributes After Bankruptcy Reorganizations., Martin M. Van Brauman
The Carryforward Of Net Operating Losses And Other Tax Attributes After Bankruptcy Reorganizations., Martin M. Van Brauman
St. Mary's Law Journal
When stock is exchanged for debt in a bankruptcy reorganization, potentially abusive tax situations can result if the reorganization occurs strictly for the carryforward of tax attributes to the acquiring corporation. The basic question is to what extent the discharge of indebtedness provisions, the application of the various statutory and judicial requirements, and the consolidated return regulations prohibit or restrict the carryforward of the tax history of the debtor corporation. Bankruptcy reorganization for a corporation under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code can take the form of either a recapitalization or a reorganization. Because a “G” reorganization involves a discharge …
Financial Failure In The Hospitality Industry, Edward M. Tavlin, Elisa S. Moncarz, Deb Dumont
Financial Failure In The Hospitality Industry, Edward M. Tavlin, Elisa S. Moncarz, Deb Dumont
Hospitality Review
The hospitality industry (especially the restaurant segment) has a historically high rate of financial failures. Yet, financial failure in the industry has not received the attention it deserves. In this article, the authors identify basic reasons underlying failed ideas while presenting a study of several hospitality chains that have experienced varying degrees of financial failure. The characteristics and pitfalls of these companies provide the necessary groundwork to explore major lessons to be learned which should aid hospitality management to aviod future business failures.
The Purposes And Limits Of Independent Agencies, Paul R. Verkuil
The Purposes And Limits Of Independent Agencies, Paul R. Verkuil
Duke Law Journal
The independent agency has been around for 100 years now, but we are still trying to understand how it best relates to the administration of government. Its popularity as an organizational mechanism is more a function of competing political forces within the legislative and executive branches than of any systematic analysis of its effectiveness. Yet one can discern reasons why independent agencies might be superior mechanisms for administering government programs if their structure and purpose are analyzed functionally. This essay proposes to do that and, in the process, reach some conclusions about both the potential and the limits of the …

The Discharge Of Partnerships And Partners Under The Bankruptcy Code, Frank R. Kennedy
The Discharge Of Partnerships And Partners Under The Bankruptcy Code, Frank R. Kennedy
Vanderbilt Law Review
The provisions of the Bankruptcy Act applicable to partnerships, partners, and their creditors were cryptic. Significant changes in these provisions made by the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 have not appreciably diminished the difficulties of administering the estates of partnerships and partners in cases under Title 11 of the United States Code. The rules governing discharge of partnerships and partners and the dischargeability of their debts have given rise to a number of special problems under both the Bankruptcy Act and the Bankruptcy Reform Act. This Article undertakes to identify and analyze these problems and to suggest solutions.

Inflation And The Concept Of Reorganization Value, Elizabeth J. Schwartz
Inflation And The Concept Of Reorganization Value, Elizabeth J. Schwartz
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Recent Development examines the validity of this formula, with and without allowances for future inflation, as a tool for valuing the stock to be distributed to creditors in corporate re-organization proceedings. This discussion considers the valuation method both under Chapter 11 of the new Bankruptcy Code and under Chapter X of the now superseded Bankruptcy Act, which is still effective in many pending cases. The Recent Development describes the purpose and effects of equity share valuations in bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, compares the methods that have been used by the courts with methods used by investors to ascertain the investment …
Municipal Bankruptcy: The Need For An Expanded Chapter Ix, Daniel J. Goldberg
Municipal Bankruptcy: The Need For An Expanded Chapter Ix, Daniel J. Goldberg
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
New York City's default crisis in 1975 presented to Congress and the nation the possibility of a major municipality's entering the federal bankruptcy court. Chapter IX of the Bankruptcy Act, as recently amended by Congress, provides the exclusive remedy by which local governmental units may obtain relief from burdensome indebtedness. Unlike certain other chapters of the Bankruptcy Act, Chapter IX is limited to a voluntary composition or extension of indebtedness. In recent years municipalities have developed complex systems of financing, while experiencing unprecedented expansion in the services which they must provide. Accordingly, a mere composition of municipal indebtedness is no …

Taxation Of Preferred Stock In Corporate Reorganizations, Bruce E. Gagnon
Taxation Of Preferred Stock In Corporate Reorganizations, Bruce E. Gagnon
Vanderbilt Law Review
Among the sections added to the revised version of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 was section 306, designed to close a gaping loophole which might have permitted many taxpayers to withdraw earnings and profits from a corporation through the distribution and sale of preferred stock and to receive capital gains treatment at the shareholder level rather than the dividend treatment ordinarily applicable to such distributions. In this article, Professor Gagnon argues that, as applied to corporate reorganizations, section 306 falls far from its mark. After discussing the purpose and operation of section 306 and related sections, the author suggests …
