Patterns In The Bankruptcy Reorganization Of Large Publicly Held Companies, Lynn M. Lopucki, William C. Whitford Jan 1993

Patterns In The Bankruptcy Reorganization Of Large Publicly Held Companies, Lynn M. Lopucki, William C. Whitford

UF Law Faculty Publications

Several recent articles contend that Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code does not provide efficient procedures for redressing the financial distress of large firms. The authors of these articles argue that the creditors of a financially distressed firm would fare better if the corporation's problems were resolved in some other way. The argument has proceeded principally on a theoretical level, since it is virtually impossible to know for certain how firms that have been in Chapter 11 would have fared under a different procedure. We recently completed an extensive empirical study of forty-three Chapter 11 cases involving large, publicly held firms. …


Corporate Governance In The Bankruptcy Reorganization Of Large, Publicly Held Companies, Lynn M. Lopucki, William C. Whitford Jan 1993

Corporate Governance In The Bankruptcy Reorganization Of Large, Publicly Held Companies, Lynn M. Lopucki, William C. Whitford

UF Law Faculty Publications

Part I of this Article describes the context in which the issues of corporate governance typically arise and the common sources of conflict among management, shareholders, and creditors. We also review other studies which bear on the corporate governance issues we address. Part II describes the sources of management power and the means by which that power is limited or controlled by various constituencies. In Part III, we examine the uses managements made of their power. We attempt to assess how much power managements had and for whose benefit they applied it. In Parts II and III, our discussion is …


The Trouble With Chapter 11, Lynn M. Lopucki Jan 1993

The Trouble With Chapter 11, Lynn M. Lopucki

UF Law Faculty Publications

The length of time companies remain in bankruptcy reorganization is critically important. During that time, the business is at risk because management incentives are inappropriate, professional fees accrue at a rapid rate, and business uncertainties increase. Creditors may be injured because the reorganizing debtor does not make payments during the case and because some creditors are not entitled to accrue interest during the pendency of the case. In this Article, Professor LoPucki presents data from several studies showing approximately a 150% increase from 1964 to 1987 in the median time companies spend in Chapter 11. Using data from other studies, …

Setoff And Bankruptcy, Lawrence Kalevitch Jan 1993

Setoff And Bankruptcy, Lawrence Kalevitch

Cleveland State Law Review

The code treats liens and setoffs as secured claims. A lienor under §506 receives a secured claim in the face amount of the debt secured only if the collateral has at least that value. Section 506(a) requires collateral valuation to determine the amount of the secured claim. Setoff in the face amount of a creditor's claim likewise requires valuation. Part II discusses §506(a) and §553 and how they may limit, in appropriate cases, the setoff right to less than the face amount of a creditor's claim. Part II shows that this reading of the Bankruptcy Code is not only consistent …


The Bifurcation Of Undersecured Residential Mortgages Under Sec. 1322(B)(2) Of The Bankruptcy Code: The Final Resolution, Veryl Victoria Miles Jan 1993

The Bifurcation Of Undersecured Residential Mortgages Under Sec. 1322(B)(2) Of The Bankruptcy Code: The Final Resolution, Veryl Victoria Miles

Scholarly Articles

In August of 1992 the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, in its decision in Nobleman v. American Savings Bank (In re Nobleman), interpreted § 1322(b)(2) of the Code as prohibiting the bifurcation of a claim secured only by a lien against a debtor's principal residence. This decision is contrary to the position taken previously by the Courts of Appeals for the Second, Third, Ninth and Tenth Circuits on the same question. On December 7, 1992 the Supreme Court granted a petition for certiorari, filed by the debtor in Nobleman, to resolve the split now existing among the courts of appeals. …

Revising Article 9 To Reduce Wasteful Litigation, James J. White Jan 1993

Revising Article 9 To Reduce Wasteful Litigation, James J. White

Articles

For reasons that are unclear to me, the committees reviewing the articles of the Uniform Commercial Code and drafting revisions are congenitally conservative. Perhaps these committees take their charge too seriously, namely, to revise, not to revolutionize. Perhaps their intimate knowledge of the subject matter exaggerates the importance of each section and consequently magnifies the apparent size of every change. In any case, my own experience with two such committees tells me that the members quickly become focused on revisions and amendments that any outsider would describe as modest. To the extent that the revision of any of the articles …
