Where
joint debtors moved to Florida from
California after the filing of an
involuntary petition against them, and
purchased a home during the gap period,
the court did not err in denying their

days immediately preceding the petition
date. |

Case
|
Court
|
Holding
|
In
re Farmland Industries, Inc.
(DBN Subscription Required) |
8th
Cir. BAP |
Where
the resolution of a third party dispute
between a creditor and the debtor's surety
will necessarily involve a determination
of Debtor's liability to the creditor and
will trigger Debtor's liability to surety
for indemnity, there is a conceivable
affect on the bankruptcy reorganization
triggering "related to"
jurisdiction. |
