Bar Association of San Francisco
Ken Brown will be part of a panel discussion of equitable mootness in chapter 11 bankruptcy practice. The doctrine It is essentially “a narrow doctrine by which an appellate court deems it prudent for practical reasons to forbear deciding an appeal when the relief requested will undermine the finality and reliability of consummated plans of reorganization.”
The panel will consider the evolving doctrine of equitable mootness, the recent contraction of the doctrine in the recent Ninth Circuit opinion in Transwest Resort Properties, and differences in approaches among the circuits.
