The Effect of Bankruptcy on Non-Bankruptcy Litigation

 

When a litigant in a non-bankruptcy matter files bankruptcy, the filing can have a profound effect on the rest of the non-bankruptcy litigation.

In the event that the new “debtor” was the Plaintiff in the case, then, depending upon the chapter of the bankruptcy under which the debtor’s bankruptcy was filed, the Plaintiff may, or may no longer, own the claim.  It may very well be the Trustee’s claim to pursue or reject, or otherwise compromise. This white paper review the different types of bankruptcy, considerations upon learning that a debtor has filed for relief under the bankruptcy code, the automatic stay and motions for relief.
