Whether a claimant is entitled to an administrative expense claim, or simply a prepetition claim, can mean the difference between full payment of the claim and the recovery of only pennies on the dollar. Accordingly, a significant amount of litigation in bankruptcy cases centers around the priority status to which certain claims are entitled. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois has recently issued a decision granting priority status to claimants seeking damages for violation of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the WARN Act).

Nicole E. Schiavo discusses the conflict between New York's legislation requiring mandatory settlement conferences in foreclosure actions and the Bankruptcy Code's prohibition against a creditor taking any act that can be construed as trying to collect a discharged debt from a debtor. Thus, if a foreclosure action is commenced against a borrower who previously received a discharge on their mortgage loan debt, the lender is left with a "Catch 22": comply with the CPLR and risk violating the Discharge Injunction, or vice versa.
