[CLBS] Will the jury please rise...

[Kelly Greene McConnell]

Jeremy - I defended a fraudulent conveyance case in Oregon where we successfully demanded a jury trial. The bankruptcy judge determined that he did not have the authority to conduct a jury trial and the case got bumped to the District Court. I can't remember exactly the reasoning since it was a few years ago, but do remember that it clearly seemed the correct result at the time.  In other words, these cases may come off the bankruptcy court docket where jury demands are made and go to the District - unless for some reason that has changed since my Oregon case.

Folks:

 

An interesting decision from Judge Pappas this week in which he ruled in favor of a request for a jury trial in  a fraudulent transfer action brought under 544(b)/548(a).  Wow.  Given the increasing number of these actions being brought by Trustees in this district, are juries going to become common place in the bankruptcy court (or at least more common place)?  A
link to the decision is below.
