  • remanding for determination of good faith, observing that an appellate court is ill-equipped to make findings on fact-intensive questions
  • remanding for determination of good faith, observing that an appellate court is ill-equipped to make findings on fact-intensive questions
  • noting difficulty of making findings as to good faith “before the really interesting facts emerge”
  • “an appellate court is ill-equipped to take evidence and make findings on such a fact-intensive question as good faith”
  • “While no bankruptcy judge is likely to approve a 10 sale that does not appear to be in ‘good faith,’ an actual 11 finding of ‘good faith’ is not an essential element for approval 12 of a sale under § 363(b).”
