Description
On Dec. 27, 2020, the Act was signed into law. The Act amends Bankruptcy Code provisions governing post-petition financing, a debtor's obligations related to performance and assumption of leases of non-residential real property, property of the estate, preference actions, and more.
None of these amendments is siloed. Each one affects more than just the specific provision in question, and wise bankruptcy practitioners know to constantly be alert for unforeseen ramifications that may not have occurred to the law's drafters. Counsel must also understand that deferrals and delays do not make obligations disappear
The amendments are also notable for failing to extend the March 27, 2021 expiration date for the increased debt limit (from $2.725MM to $7.5MM) for small business debtors seeking to reorganize under subchapter V.
Listen as this experienced panel explores the amendments, their expiration dates, and opportunities and challenges for different stakeholder groups, as well as what questions each should be asking about how the law will work.
