Automatic Stay

Domestic asset-protection trusts are now available in 20 states. This panel will introduce the concept of domestic asset-protection trusts and discuss their treatment in and out of bankruptcy.

Join ABI Editor-at-Large Bill Rochelle as he hosts a panel of bankruptcy judges to discuss circuit splits on important bankruptcy issues. Back again from the Annual Spring Meeting, this attendee-favorite panel will be presented in a fun game show format, where judges will vote to resolve the issues before they reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

Hosted by the Bankruptcy Litigation and Consumer Bankruptcy Committees
This panel will discuss the current state of the law and open issues regarding the automatic stay, discharge injunction and sanctions in light of the Supreme Court’s rulings in Fulton v. City of Chicago and Taggart v. Lorenzen.

This plenary will present two exciting debates on timely circuit split topics. Judges will be paired with emerging regional leaders to face off over key bankruptcy issues.
Resolved: The automatic stay terminates automatically after a repeat filing only to property of the debtor, and not to estate property.
Resolved: A “makewhole” provision may be enforced against a debtor and is not disallowed as “unmatured interest” pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 502(b)(2).
