Robert A. Sears v. Joseph H. Badami

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the “possible solvency” of the debtor’s estate did not give the shareholder appellant standing
• noting that a finding that a party did not object is a finding of fact
• “Appellate standing in bankruptcy cases is more limited than Article III standing or the prudential standing requirements associated therewith.”
• even sole shareholders of closely held S corporation lacked standing to pursue bankruptcy appeal, as their interest in litigation was merely derivative of corporation’s
• “The ‘persons aggrieved’ standard is ‘[d]erived from the now-repealed Bankruptcy Act of 1898.’”
• indirect consequences from a bankruptcy order are not enough to confer appellate standing
