Tribune Media Co. (In re Tribune Media Co.), 587 B.R. 606 (D. Del. 2018); and equitable mootness affecting appeals from Confirmation Orders after the Delaware District Court's affirmance of In re Millennium Lab Holdings.

Join our distinguished panel members for a lively discussion of Crystallex Int'l Corp. v. Bolivarian Republic of Venez., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 138978 which analyzed alter ego theories of liability applicable to sovereign and non-sovereign parties.

The panel will further discuss the potential Circuit split between the Second and Third Circuits applying non-consensual third party releases based on conflicting opinions of the District Courts within the Circuits.

The panel will also discuss limitations of the duties of care and loyalty in recent decisions involving limited liability companies, as well as the importance of establishing control as an exception to sovereign immunity, as well as liability of non-sovereign parties after Crystallex.

This program is a must for bankruptcy litigators and other practitioners looking to stay on the cutting edge of practice.
