Bankruptcy and Debtor-Creditor Law: Cases and Materials

This casebook on bankruptcy and debtor-creditor law probes the general and unifying themes of debtor-creditor law and bankruptcy. The relationship of Article 9 of the UCC and state debt collection doctrine is emphasized. It continues to be the only book that integrates Bankruptcy with Article 9 of the UCC and state enforcement-of-judgments law. There has been a substantial reworking of consumer bankruptcy, with coverage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. New bankruptcy reorganization materials include: Coverage of the major automobile manufacturer bankruptcies through inclusion of the Chrysler case Coverage of settlement as a possible exception to absolute priority through inclusion of the Iridium case An Article 9 British case growing out of the financial crisis that applies New York law raising issues of trustee duties in the context of multi-tiered investments A rare, recent judicial interpretation of New York's enforcement-of-judgment statute.
