Chicago Bar Association (CBA) Bankruptcy and Reorganization Committee Meeting

Aaron Hammer and Nate Delman explore the past, present, and potential futures of the so-called “equitable mootness” doctrine, which limits a litigant’s right to appeal bankruptcy court orders. They will discuss this doctrine through the lens of their involvement in the Eighth Circuit FishDish case, where the panelists represented equity holders and successfully advocated against the doctrine, leading the Court to nearly abolish the doctrine from its jurisdiction.
