How courts have described this case

  • holding that “for purposes of [section] 726(a)(5), the federal judgment rate selected should be that in effect as of the date of filing, as opposed to the date of distribution.... Setting the legal rate of interest as of the date of distribution ... makes little sense.”
  • post-petition interest is “compensation for the detention of money occasioned by the bankruptcy case itself’
  • federal judgment rate provides court with an “easily ascertainable, nationally uniform rate” and increases predictability in the process
  • the federal judgment rate is consistent with the analytical nature of the Bankruptcy Code
