    Creditors holding legal claims against a debtor were not required to file a lawsuit outside of the bankruptcy process in addition to filing a proof of claim to preserve their claims from the expiration of the statute of limitations, as the bankruptcy code required evaluating proof of claims as of the date of the bankruptcy filing, and requiring the filing of separate lawsuits ran contrary to the purpose of bankruptcy to provide a single forum to resolve claims against a debtor.

    The court granted debtors' trustees' request to clarify a previous court order indicating that the trust may acquire third-party claims in instances involving separate litigation claims. Although defendant corporation argued that the trustees lacked standing to bring the claims, the court disagreed and noted that because the trustees were post-confirmation entities, they did not need to seek the bankruptcy court's approval prior to filing an action.
