In the Matter of Gravure Paper & Board Corp., Bankrupt. David J. Rosen

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• once trustee rejects lease, trustee is trespasser and has no right to use or occupancy
• “[W]hen the trustee in bankruptcy abandons an asset, he is to be treated as having never had title to it; the abandonment is said to relate back, so that the title stands as if no assignment had been made.”
• trustee responsible for return of deposit on trustee’s purported sale of lease, since lease had been rejected prior to purported sale and thus trustee had “offered for sale and ‘sold’ a lease to which he had no ‘right, title or interest’ ”
