Creating a circuit split, the Fifth Circuit holds that the solvent-debtor exception to the allowance of post-petition interest survived adoption of the Bankruptcy Code.

Waiting four years to raise discharge as a defense does not invoke equitable estoppel or laches.

Judge Sarah Hall declined to expand the exception in Reading for post-petition claims to have administrative status.

A creditor can’t be compelled to arbitrate the validity of a claim before the bankruptcy court decides whether the involuntary petitioner’s claim is subject to a bona fide dispute.

Once the debtor loses the right to do business, taking customers for no consideration isn’t a fraudulent transfer, Judge Isgur holds.

False advertising that violates non-bankruptcy law isn’t necessarily a violation of the automatic stay, New York district judge says.

Counsel run the risk of being paid lower local rates in ‘mega’ cases filed in the Eastern District of Virginia.

In spreading the automatic stay, the bankruptcy court again employed the traditional analysis without recognition that the non-debtors are solvent.

Claims under pre-petition contracts extended after bankruptcy can have administrative status if there was benefit to the estate, district judge says, reversing the bankruptcy court.

Judge Glenn allowed the redaction of individual crypto customers’ home and email addresses, but requires the disclosure of their names and the amount of their claims. No redactions for business customers.
