What Do You Mean My Partnership Has Been Petitioned Into Bankruptcy?, Karen E. Blaney
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 …
Including Retirement Benefits In A Debtor's Bankruptcy Estate: A Proposal For Harmonizing Erisa And The Bankruptcy Code, Michelle A. Cecil
Including Retirement Benefits In A Debtor's Bankruptcy Estate: A Proposal For Harmonizing Erisa And The Bankruptcy Code, Michelle A. Cecil
Faculty Publications
This Article first examines the conflicting policies of ERISA and the Bankruptcy Code. It then explores how the various courts have attempted to reconcile these policies when faced with the issue of whether a debtor's interest in retirement plan assets should be available for distribution to creditors in bankruptcy. In analyzing the relevant case law, the Article examines cases addressing the exclusion issue (whether pension plans should be excluded from the bankruptcy estate entirely). It also evaluates cases addressing the exemption issue (whether plan assets, once included in the bankruptcy estate, can be exempted out of the estate by the …

The Implementation Of Bankruptcy Code Section 707(B): The Law And The Reality, Wayne R. Wells, Janell M. Kurtz, Robert J. Calhoun
Cleveland State Law Review
The introduction of section 707(b) to the bankruptcy code has raised many difficult interpretational issues. This article focuses on those issues concerning the implementation of section 707(b). Under the law, only the courts and the U.S. Trustees are permitted to raise the issue of substantial abuse. Therefore, to determine how section 707(b) is actually being administered, a survey was distributed to the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts and the U.S. Trustees. The results of the survey are integrated into a discussion of the current status of the law and presented in this article. This analysis identifies serious shortcomings with the law that …

The Inconsistent Treatment Of Secured Tax Claims In Liquidation And Reorganization Proceedings Under The Bankruptcy Code, Steven B. Levine
The Inconsistent Treatment Of Secured Tax Claims In Liquidation And Reorganization Proceedings Under The Bankruptcy Code, Steven B. Levine
Faculty Scholarship
There is general inconsistency and tension regarding the treatment of secured tax claims under the Bankruptcy Code. In order to resolve the ambiguity and tension in the Code, tax claims for the same periods should be treated alike regardless of whether one taxing authority has filed a notice of lien in the appropriate public records office or whether such claims are asserted in a reorganization or liquidation proceeding. Some of the rights and priorities associated with tax liens outside of bankruptcy must be limited so as not to harm 2 basic goals of the reorganization process. These are: 1. equitable …

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.
