    The Liquidating Fiduciary Exception and Administrative Status

    By Rudolph J. Di Massa Jr. 
and Catherine B. Heitzenrater | August 17, 2017

    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). Given the significant ­liability that debtors could face under the WARN Act, this decision is relevant to all bankruptcy practitioners.

    Conflict Between CPLR and Bankruptcy Code: A Dilemma for Lenders

    By Nicole E. Schiavo | August 11, 2017

    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.
