In re TOUSA: Eleventh Circuit Reinstates Bankruptcy Court’s Controversial Fraudulent Transfer Ruling | Practical Law
In a blow to lenders, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a district court ruling and affirmed the decision of a bankruptcy court in In re TOUSA that liens granted by TOUSA's subsidiaries to secure TOUSA's debt constituted fraudulent transfers under section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Lenders' appeal to a prior ruling by the bankruptcy court that questioned the enforceability of saving clauses, which was stayed pending the Eleventh Circuit's decision, may now proceed.
