Southwest Region
In In re: Hidalgo County Emergency Service Foundation v. Carranza, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals was called upon to determine whether the bankruptcy court exceeded its authority when it issued a preliminary injunction mandating that the Small Business Administration handle a bankrupt debtor's PPP application without consideration of the debtor's ongoing bankruptcy.

In Legacy Bank v. Fab Tech Drilling Equipment, Inc., the Texas Court of Appeals, in an issue of first impression in Texas, considered whether the holder of a prior perfected security interest waived its priority right to collateral by failing to declare a default or otherwise take an affirmative action to foreclose on collateral prior to a judgment lien creditor exercising foreclosure rights on the same collateral through garnishment.

Rocky Mountain and Western Region
In Blixseth v. Credit Suisse, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, for the first time, affirmed the validity of a narrowly tailored exculpation clause that released a lender from certain potential claims against it arising from the bankruptcy proceedings and not with respect to the debtor's discharged debts themselves.

In Gunderson v. Weidner Holdings, LLC, the Colorado Court of Appeals, the intermediate appellate court of the state of Colorado, held that the Uniform Commercial Code's statute of limitations, not the general statute of limitations under Colorado law, applied to a claim to enforce two promissory notes, one of which was secured by a deed of trust, and thus lender's claim for enforcement was not time-barred.

In In re Medina, the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Ninth Circuit held that "actual damages" were not required in order for a court to set aside a prepetition transmutation between judgment debtor and his wife pursuant to California's Uniform Voidable Transactions Act. Click here to learn more.
