MAY 5, 2008
SPEAKERS: Honorable Dennis Montali of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth Circuit, and his former Clerk, Neil W. Bason, now Special Counsel at Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk & Rabkin P.C.
TOPIC: “First Day Cash Collateral and Financing Motions: How the Judge Evaluates Them and Approaches Grey Areas.”
So-called 'first day' motions in bankruptcy cases often involve the debtor's request for authority to borrow money or use cash collateral. The Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure - recently amended - and the local Guidelines for Cash Collateral and Financing Motions and Stipulations govern what the court will normally approve or disapprove. This program will be both a refresher on the Rules and Guidelines and an explanation of how the court approaches requests to depart from the Guidelines.
