Once a chapter 13 plan is confirmed, a debtor in the Sixth Circuit may not surrender collateral and treat the deficiency as an unsecured claim.

Ninth Circuit BAP confirmed a plan with no future creditors’ trust when the debtor claimed there were no future claims and no one was in court representing future claimants.

Delaware’s Bankruptcy Judge Goldblatt explains why the Supreme Court’s Truck Insurance opinion says nothing about Article III constitutional standing.

A plan saying that it satisfies and settles claims does nothing more than discharge the claims. It doesn’t extinguish the claims, the Fifth Circuit says.

The debtor agreed not to raise equitable mootness on an appeal only challenging nondebtor opt-out releases.

A decision by Bankruptcy Judge Maria Oxholm explains why chapter 13 plan amendments sometimes may be easier after confirmation than before.

When a home mortgage matures during the term of a chapter 13 plan, the debtor may bifurcate and cram down the secured claim, the Ninth Circuit holds.

Another bankruptcy court in New York holds that the ability to opt out of nondebtor releases represents consent after Purdue.

Consent from administrative creditors provided grounds for approving DIP financing and a sale when the estate was administratively insolvent.

Judge Meredith Grabill of New Orleans agreed with New York’s Judge Mastando that a Subchapter V plan can enjoin lawsuits against nondebtors for the life of a three-year plan.
