Ochs v. Lipson (In Re First Central Financial Corp.)

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that because no claims had been filed against the debtor, existence of entity coverage did not make proceeds property of the estate
• expressing that the clear purpose behind granting the automatic stay is to avoid threatening a debtor’s reorganization efforts
• acknowledging that extending the automatic stay is inapplicable to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case because the underlying purpose of the automatic stay is to suspend serious threats against a debtor’s reorganization efforts
• declining to find an automatic stay extension where “there is no reorganization effort which would require the participation of the Officers and Directors”
• “[T]he question of whether the proceeds [of an insurance policy] are property of the estate must be analyzed in light of the facts of each case”
• indemnification and entity coverage, though there had been no claims filed against the debtor that would trigger entity coverage, and the court was skeptical that any would be filed
