A new credit bidding controversy has recently emerged, illustrated by the recent In re Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc. and In re Free Lance-Star Publishing Co. of Fredericksburg, Va decisions. Both cases suggest that the desire to foster and promote a competitive sales process may be sufficient "cause" to limit rights to credit bid under section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code. Because the Bankruptcy Code does not define what constitutes "cause" for this purpose, some courts may broaden the exception to promote this policy to the detriment of secured creditors, who have long relied on credit bidding rights to protect against an undervaluation of their collateral. However, it is unclear whether this policy objective alone is sufficient cause to deny or limit credit bidding rights.
