Bankruptcy Redistributive Policies And The Limits Of The Judicial Process, Christopher W. Frost Nov 1995

Bankruptcy Redistributive Policies And The Limits Of The Judicial Process, Christopher W. Frost

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Business failure negatively affects a broad range of interests, yet the bankruptcy process directly protects only a small segment of interest-holders: the creditors. Some commentators argue for expansion of that protection to encompass redistributive norms and provide for the interests of non-investors in the failed business. The Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994’s establishment of a national commission to study the bankruptcy process and its broader policy implications brings with it the opportunity to consider that redistributive argument and perhaps change the process to include the interests of non-investors under the reorganization umbrella. This Article responds to those who would have …

Back To The Parent: Holding Company Liability For Subsidiary Banks — A Discussion Of The Net Worth Maintenance Agreement, The Source Of Strength Doctrine, And The Prompt Corrective Action Provision, Cassandra Jones Havard

All Faculty Scholarship

Given the statutory goal of parental accountability, this Article focuses on a narrow issue: Whether parental guarantees are the most effective regulatory tool for shielding the federal deposit insurance fund from losses when insured banking subsidiaries that are members of a multibank holding company system are insolvent. This Article posits that a needed complement to parental guarantees is temporary substantive consolidation of a holding company's affiliated banks. This would require the parent company to combine the assets of its banking siblings to facilitate the reorganization of a financially troubled subsidiary. Temporary enterprise consolidation is a necessary regulatory tool because it …

Congress established a Bankruptcy Review Commission ("'Commission") when it enacted the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994. Although the Commission is empowered to review the Bankruptcy Code and make recommendations based upon its findings and conclusions, its focus is directed toward making suggestions that do not disturb the fundamental principles and balance of current law. Instead, the stated purposes of the Commission are: ( 1) to investigate and study issues and problems relating to title 11, United States Code (commonly known as the "'Bankruptcy Code"); (2) to evaluate the advisability of proposals and current arrangements with respect to such issues and …

Bankruptcy And The Entitlements Of The Government: Whose Money Is It Anyway?, Ronald J. Mann Jan 1995

Bankruptcy And The Entitlements Of The Government: Whose Money Is It Anyway?, Ronald J. Mann

Faculty Scholarship

A debate between two groups of scholars has dominated bankruptcy scholarship for the past decade. The first group, often referred to as the creditors' bargain theorists, argues that creditors' agreements with debtors create entitlements to payment the proper role of the bankruptcy system, therefore should be to benefit creditors by enforcing rules to which creditors would have agreed before bankruptcy. The second group of scholars contends that the goals of the bankruptcy system should not be limited to the interests of creditors. Instead, they maintain that the bankruptcy system, as a part of our country's wider system of social protection, …
