Less Than Perfected: Uncertainty In Illinois Judgment Lien Law, Frank Stepnowski

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Attempting to reduce the confusion surrounding Illinois judgment lien law, the author explores contradictory decisions of the past involving levy and execution, chancery's creditor's bill, and citation to discover assets. The article calls for clarification and specific reforms of Illinois's Article XII of the Code of Civil Procedure to conform judgment collection procedures with modern practice, the Bankruptcy Code, and the UCC.

"Reasonable Expectations" Define Board Power To Liquidate A Solvent Close Corporation In Bankruptcy, Shelby D. Green Jan 1992

"Reasonable Expectations" Define Board Power To Liquidate A Solvent Close Corporation In Bankruptcy, Shelby D. Green

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article will argue that, in the absence of contrary provisions in the articles of incorporation, the power of the board of directors of a solvent close corporation to file a voluntary petition for liquidation in bankruptcy must be determined by the theory of “reasonable expectations.” This doctrine not only addresses wrongdoing by those in control, but also defines the power and rights of close corporation participants. Part II briefly considers the uses of bankruptcy in recent years and comments on the peculiar occasion of a solvent corporation deciding to liquidate in bankruptcy. Part III summarizes the facts and identifies …

Erisa: Anti-Alienation Superiority In Bankruptcy, George Lee Flint Jr Jan 1992

Erisa: Anti-Alienation Superiority In Bankruptcy, George Lee Flint Jr

Faculty Articles

Both ERISA and the Bankruptcy Code consider the issue of debtor-participant’s interest in certain pension trusts when an action has been undertaken against the bankrupt debtor participant’s estate. Many jurisdictions have offered conflicting views on the handling of the interest. These conflicts create litigious interpretation and choice of law problems and place plan administrators at risk for breach of fiduciary duty depending on jurisdictional interpretation. Paying-out a bankruptcy trustee’s turnover demand could affect the tax qualified status of the pension plan, thereby hurting all plan participants. ERISA’s preemption provision was drafted to create uniformity among the states in interpreting employee …

Why Have Chapter 11 Bankruptcies Failed So Miserably? A Reappraisal Of Congressional Attempts To Protect A Corporation's Net Operating Losses After Bankruptcy, Michelle A. Cecil Jan 1992

Why Have Chapter 11 Bankruptcies Failed So Miserably? A Reappraisal Of Congressional Attempts To Protect A Corporation's Net Operating Losses After Bankruptcy, Michelle A. Cecil

Faculty Publications

This Article will first outline the history of judicial and statutory limitations on the free transferability of net operating losses, highlighting congressional attempts to afford more favorable treatment to troubled corporations reorganizing in Title 11 proceedings. It will then examine the operation of section 382 of the 1986 Code, again focusing on those provisions designed to assist in the successful reorganization of these corporations, and will demonstrate the wholesale inability of these provisions to preserve the net operating losses of troubled corporations. Finally, the Article will propose an amendment to section 382 that would increase the likelihood that corporations will …


What Do You Mean My Partnership Has Been Petitioned Into Bankruptcy?, Karen E. Blaney Jan 1992

What Do You Mean My Partnership Has Been Petitioned Into Bankruptcy?, Karen E. Blaney

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Bankruptcy law regarding partnerships differs from the law pertaining to individuals and corporations. Only a partnership can be involuntarily petitioned into bankruptcy by individuals within the organization. Involuntary petitions can be used by general partners as bargaining chips, and may encourage partners who can personally benefit from filing to do so, even if the act would be detrimental to the partnership. Under present bankruptcy law, an involuntary petition may be commenced against a partnership by fewer than all of the general partners in such partnership. In comparison to prior bankruptcy provisions governing a partner's involuntary petition against the partnership, the …


Offensive Uses Of The Bankruptcy Stay, Daniel Keating Jan 1992

Offensive Uses Of The Bankruptcy Stay, Daniel Keating

Vanderbilt Law Review

One of the most significant features of the 1978 Bankruptcy Reform Act was markedly broadened versions of the automatic and postdischarge stays. If bankruptcy is the refuge for the honest but unfortunate debtor,' then the stay is the specific tool that makes the refuge meaningful. Indeed, more than one court has characterized the stay as a shield that gives the corporate debtor an opportunity to reorganize and affords the individual debtor a chance for the proverbial fresh start. Even courts mindful of the debtor-protection function of the stay, however, are careful to note that the debtor should use the stay …


Running The Asylum: Governance Problems In Bankruptcy Reorganizations, Christopher W. Frost Jan 1992

Running The Asylum: Governance Problems In Bankruptcy Reorganizations, Christopher W. Frost

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Like much of life, the study of bankruptcy is the study of leverage. Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code may be appropriately described as providing a framework within which interested parties may negotiate solutions to the problems facing a troubled company. The allocation of leverage to the negotiating parties is critical to the ultimate outcome of the process. In any negotiation setting control over the bargaining process is a key item of leverage. This Article proposes a framework for analysis and suggests solutions to the problem of control over corporations during the pendency of a Chapter 11 reorganization …
