The U.S. Chamber filed a coalition amicus brief in support of no party, explaining that under Second Circuit precedent, the Bankruptcy Code, and the U.S. Constitution, bankruptcy courts have the legal authority to issue nonconsensual third-party releases of claims against non-debtors in circumstances where such releases are appropriate.
David H. Thompson, Brian W. Barnes, and John W. Tienken of Cooper & Kirk, PLLC and the U.S. Chamber’s Litigation Center served as co-counsel for the U.S. Chamber.
