In re Grumman Olson Industries: SDNY District Court Finds Section 363 Sale Order Does Not Bar All Successor Liability Claims | Practical Law
The District Court for the Southern District of New York held that a section 363 sale order under the Bankruptcy Code does not bar successor liability claims against the purchaser of the debtor's assets if those claims arise from the debtor's prepetition conduct and do not result in injury until after the conclusion of the bankruptcy proceeding.
