Law Review: Iverson, Madsen, Wang & Xu- Practice Makes Perfect: Judge Experience and Bankruptcy Outcomes

Abstract: Exploiting the within-district random assignment of bankruptcy cases to judges, we provide new evidence on the effects of judges' on-the-bench experience on large public corporate Chapter 11 outcomes. We find that cases assigned to more experienced judges spend less time in bankruptcy, are more likely to be reorganized rather than liquidated, but are not more likely to refile for bankruptcy after emergence.

Bankr. E.D.N.C.: In re Faison- Denial of Confirmation for Infeasibility

Summary: Mr. Faison filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy seeking, among other things, to continue to develop real property against which Summit Bridge held several claims. Summit Bridge objected to confirmation of Mr. Faison’s (third) plan of reorganization based on infeasibility at it was a “visionary scheme” that was “based on speculation, hope and desire, and has no demonstrable objective fact or facts as its foundation.” While stating that it believed Mr. Faison could ultimately propose a feasible plan, the bankruptcy court found the current plan infeasible.

N.C. Ct. of Appeals: In re Smith- Conditions Precedent to Confirmation of Plan

Summary: Mr. Smith filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy after Wells Fargo commenced foreclosure on real property. The amended proposed plan provided for the cram-down of the secured claim held by Wells Fargo to $60,000.00. The Confirmation Order provided “that confirmation is expressly conditioned upon [Mr. Smith] providing for the payment of all claims assertable against [Mr. Smith’s] estate as specified in the Plan and in this Order.” The Chapter 11 case was, however, dismissed at Mr. Smith’s request two years later, after which Wells Fargo recommenced foreclosure.

4th Circuit: National Heritage Foundation v. Highbourne Foundation- Non-Debtor Release of Liability Invalid

Summary: A provision of the Chapter 11 plan for National Heritage Foundation (“NHF”) provided that its officers, directors, and employees, the Unsecured Creditor Committee, and their successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”) were released from liability for any acts or omissions relating to NHF.
