This CLE course will guide counsel through the issues and process of proposing and confirming a plan of reorganization under Subchapter V of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The program will also review the consequences of consensual confirmation and cramdown on discharge.

Description

A Subchapter V plan's contents are found in Sections 1122, 1123, and 1190 of the Bankruptcy Code, but not all provisions of Section 1123 apply. An important but controversial provision allows debtors to modify certain residential mortgages.

If all impaired classes accept the plan, confirmation is consensual, and discharge is effective immediately. If all impaired classes do not accept the plan, it can still be confirmed under Section 1191, but using different cramdown rules than those in Section 1129.

The logistics of payments and implementation of a plan are also different than in the traditional Chapter 11 plan, as are the type and timing a debtor receives. Many debtors reorganizing under Subchapter V will need to modify the plan due to changing circumstances, and these modifications may vary depending on how the plan was confirmed.

Listen as this experienced panel discusses the plan and confirmation challenges in Subchapter V.
