NACBA CONVENTION ANNOUNCEMENT

In light of on-going developments with COVID-19 and after thoughtful discussions with our Board of Directors and several dedicated NACBA volunteer members, NACBA has decided to move our 2021 Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida to a fully on-line, virtual experience that will take place on Thursday, May 13, Friday, May 14, Thursday, May 20 and Friday, May 21, 2021. Each day, (11:00 AM Eastern to 4:00 PM Eastern) will feature 4-5 hours of on-line bankruptcy professional development including ethics.

 

We believe this is the safest approach for the well-being of our national audience and we are excited that a virtual event makes it possible to broaden the learning opportunities and engagement with the consumer bankruptcy profession at this time. Attendees will be able to participate virtually in vital conversations around bankruptcy and other areas of related focus within the profession. Networking is a cornerstone of our annual event and attendees will be able to partake in interactive and engaging experiences through post session zoom conferences from the comfort and safety of their home or office.

 

The virtual convention agenda will now be spread out over two weeks with shorter 4-5-hour days to ensure that content is delivered in more digestible segments. Best of all, plenaries and breakout sessions will be easily accessible on-demand for convention attendees to view at their own convenience. Please note, all sessions will be applied for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits, both substantive and ethics. While each state has its own set of requirements for on-line CLE, we will post accreditation from individual states on the convention homepage.

 

The virtual convention days are offered a la carte so you can choose which days you want to attend virtually and earn CLE credit.

 

This webinar is available for purchase by MEMBERS ONLY. Expired membership? Want to join so you can attend? Email us at admin@nacba.com

Citing six separate stay violations by the homeowner’s association, the district court awarded the debtor damages for emotional distress and property interference. It also upheld the bankruptcy court’s award of punitive damages and attorney’s fees. The court remanded, however, for a determination of whether the damages for property interference should have extended beyond the end of the automatic stay. In re Parker, No. 19-2588 (N.D. Cal. March 22, 2021).

The Supreme Court recently denied cert petitions in three bankruptcy-related cases: Hull v. Rockwell, No. 20-499 (pet’n denied Feb. 22, 2021); GE Capital Retail Bank v. Belton, 20-481 (pet’n denied March 8, 2021); and Marino v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, No. 20-409 (pet’n denied March 22, 2021).

Because an action for fraudulent transfer is not merely a collection action, the creditors were precluded by the discharge injunction from pursuing their state court appeal of that action even though the predicate debt was found to be nondischargeable in the debtor’s bankruptcy. SuVicMon Dev. Inc. v. Morrison, No. 20-11681 (11th Cir. March 25, 2021).
