Jennis Morse Etlinger Bankruptcy News October 22, 2021
Jennis Morse Etlinger and its client, a subchapter v debtor, recently attended an initial debtor interview (IDI). While IDIs may appear routine, they are a great opportunity for the debtor to advance its narrative and educate the trustees as to where the case is heading. JME represents a creditor in a pending subchapter v bankruptcy. On behalf of the creditor, JME filed a rejection ballot and objection to the debtor’s proposed plan. In large part because of the firm’s efforts, the debtor was unable to proceed forward with its confirmation efforts and will be filing an amended plan. This will ensure sufficient disclosures and proper treatment not only for JME’s client, but for the unsecured class as a whole. The firm appeared on behalf of its client, a defendant and third party plaintiff, at a pretrial conference. The firm’s request for mediation was granted and applauded as an efficient option to hopefully resolve the matters. Florida Filings |
