Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. v. 1st Advantage Mortgage LLC
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. v. 1st Advantage Mortgage LLC, ___BR___ (Bankr. SD NY 8/13/18) case #16-01019: Bankruptcy Court 8/15/18 decision rules Bankruptcy Court Still Has Jurisdiction Seven Years After Confirmation of Chapter 11 plan: Almost 10 years after Lehman Brothers began the biggest Chapter liquidation bankruptcy in history, Bankruptcy Judge Shelley C. Chapman ruled that the bankruptcy court still has jurisdiction to host new lawsuits against third parties. She also held that New York is the proper venue for suing defendants from all around the country, even though Lehman’s chapter 11 plan was confirmed almost seven years ago. Comment: bankruptcy should NOT go on forever, this seems like a poorly reasoned decision.
