Bankruptcy Partner Alec Ostrow Publishes His Latest Article In the Norton Annual Survey of Bankruptcy Law

On Bankruptcy Injunctions, Third-Party Releases, and Bar Orders, Can We Please Stop Talking About Jurisdiction? is Alec Ostrow’s latest publication in the Norton Annual Survey of Bankruptcy Law. The article discusses two 2019 appellate rulings about federal court jurisdiction to enjoin actions between non-debtors in support of settlements and confirmed chapter 11 plans in receivership and bankruptcy cases. Mr. Ostrow concludes, as his title indicates, that the focus of the litigants’ arguments and the courts’ attention should be on the substantive bankruptcy principles rather than jurisdictional questions.
