Bankruptcy Court authority

 The Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan, along with the Debtor/Creditors Rights Committee of the Business Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan hosted a dinner and panel presentation on “What Have You Done to Me Lately: Stern v. Marshall and Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction Revisited” on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at the offices of Jaffe, Raitt, Heuer, & Weiss PC in Southfield.  

Speaking at the event were (left to right) Judith Greenstone Miller of Jaffe Raitt, Michael Leib of Maddin, Hauser, Wartell, Roth, & Heller PC; U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Thomas Tucker, Eastern District of Michigan; and University of Michigan Law School Professor John Pottow.

 “We are doing a presentation on the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court in a case entitled Stern v. Marshall,” said Miller.  “It has to do with the Constitutional authority of the Bankruptcy Court to issue final rulings in the context of a bankruptcy case.  If it doesn’t have Constitutional authority then it can only issue proposed findings of fact and proposed conclusions of law.”
