Latest Bankruptcy News
On June 15, 2023, the court ruled that Native American tribes are subject to the automatic stay and discharge injunction of the Bankruptcy Code.

“We conclude that the Bankruptcy Code unequivocally abrogates the sovereign immunity of any and every government that possesses the power to assert such immunity. Federally recognized tribes undeniably fit that description; therefore, the Code’s abrogation provision plainly applies to them as well.”
On March 12, 2023, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that 11 U.S.C. § 1326(b) requires a Chapter 13 trustee to turn over all plan payments to the Debtor upon dismissal before confirmation, without deducting her statutory fee. See Steedman v. McCallister (In re Evans), No. 22-35216, 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 14571 (9th Cir. June 12, 2023).
