The Southern District Bankruptcy Court at One Bowling Green, which was closed after lower Manhattan was flooded in Hurricane Sandy, reopened yesterday. The court continued to operate while its building was closed, holding proceedings in the Southern District’s White Plains courthouse and in the Eastern District in Brooklyn. Some attorneys and judges also held proceedings remotely.
Court clerk Vito Genna said the court has been able to operate smoothly because it went into the Oct. 29 storm with a detailed continuation of operations plan. It was able to operate as early as Oct. 31.
