The Ninth Circuit just published their decision in
Zachary v. California Bank & Trust. See attached.
Per the Law360 website:
In an Circuit ruled Thursday that the absolute priority rule still applies to individual chapter 11 reorganizations after the Bankruptcy Code
was amended in 2005, overruling a previous decision from the circuit
A three judge panel affirmed that the absolute priority rule, which requires debtors to pay dissenting creditors in full before retaining any property, still applies to individual Chapter 11 reorganizations
after the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005.
