Bankr. EDNC: Robinson & Baldwin: Chapter 13 Debtor Cannot Exercise Trustee Avoidance Powers‏

Profile picture for user Ed Boltz
By Ed Boltz, 7 November, 2011
In both of these cases a Chapter 13 Debtor brought an action to avoid a security interest under 11 USC § 544. The Court held that the rights and powers of a chapter 13 debtor are set out in § 1303 of the Code as follows: 1. Baldwin.PDF 2. Robinson.PDF Subject to any limitations on a trustee under this chapter, the debtor shall have, exclusive of the trustee, the rights and powers of a trustee under sections 363(b), 363(d), 363(e), 363(f), and 363(l), of this title. The Court held that the language of this provision clearly indicates that chapter 13 debtors were not granted the trustee's avoidance powers found in chapter 5 of the Code. It contrasted this with a Debtors powers under §§ 1107 and 1203 of the Code, which explicitly grant debtors under chapter 11 and chapter 12 the rights of a trustee to pursue avoidance actions.
