I need examples of the "old" Bankruptcy code provisions (ie-those
before the changes took effect in Fall 2005) in which there were
Federal Court Circuit splits on the interpretation of the law
(specifically what the 9th Circuit held compared to a couple other
Circuit court); and the corresponding 'new' Bankruptcy Code provision.
(Background- My thesis is that by comparing the various circuit court
interpretations of the pre-2005 amendments, with the new law enacted
in 2005, will we find that the 9th Circuit was more 'pro-debtor' in
its interpretation of various bankruptcy provisions and therefore more
'liberal' than other federal circuit courts.) Caveat- I need this
stuff by morning (or 10ish the latest), so after that it will have
nominal value for me, and I will adjust the price to reflect such.
So to sum it up, in order to answer my question, I need someone to
find some old bankruptcy law where there was a split of decisions in
the federal courts, followed by a 'clarification' of the law in the
new bankruptcy code enacted this year. I need at least 2 or 3
examples of these in order to have enough data to analyse my
hypothesis. I would like to have the "old" code section; the various
courts' interpretation; and the "clarifying" new law. I'll pay as
much as I can afford, and if anyone is willing and able to find this
for me, great! |
