Latest Bankruptcy News
The Seventh Circuit Considers Whether a Chapter 13 Trustee May Take A Fee If the Case is Dismissed Pre-Confirmation
The Seventh Circuit, in the case of In re Johnson, Case No. 23-2212 (7th Cir. 2023), accepted a direct appeal from the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The bankruptcy court held that a Chapter 13 trustee may not deduct her fee if a Chapter 13 case is dismissed without having a plan confirmed. The court adopted the reasoning in Goodman v. Doll (In re Doll), 57 F.4th 1129 (10th Cir. 2023).
The Ninth Circuit Considers Whether Appellate Rights are Property of the Estate
In In re Lopez, Case No. 23-55682 (9th Cir. 2023), the Ninth Circuit is considering whether the bankruptcy court erred in (1) ruling that the Chapter 7 debtor’s right to appeal a prepetition personal injury judgment against her was property of the estate, (2) denying the debtor’s motion for the Chapter 7 trustee’s abandonment of the appeal rights, and (3) denying the debtor’s motion for reconsideration.
