Number of Proceedings: 60

When Filed: Mar. 31, 2011

Adversary Proceeding Judge: Chief U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin J. Carey

Plaintiff's Counsel: Bayard, P.A. (Wilmington, Delaware) through its attorneys Neil B. Glassman, Jamie L. Edmonson, GianClaudio Finizio, Daniel A. O’Brien

Avoidance Period: The complaint identifies the preference period as the period "from January 16, 2009 through April 15, 2009, which is the ninety-day period prior to the filing of the Debtors’ bankruptcy petitions".

 

The Complaints:

In addition to a count for avoidance of preferential transfers under Section 547, they include a count for recovery of fradulent transfers under Section 548 with a 2 year avoidance period; a count for recovery of post petition transfers under Section 549; and a count for setoff and recoupment. However, the complaints are bare of any factual allegations to support these ancillary claims, and the identification of transfers covers only the 90 day preference period under Section 547. Even the allegations as to the 90 day preference period fail to identify the antecedent debt.

These proceedings are before Judge Kevin J. Carey, who during a recent oral argument an In re HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation adversary proceeding admonised the plaintiff: "[i]t defies credibility and credulity that you would expect a Court to look at this complaint and tell me that there's anything specific in it other than the attachment which shows a handful of transfers and the dates of the transfer." Judge Carey also made clear that he would not hesitate to dismiss such complaints with prejudice, although in that particular proceeding he allowed the complaint to be amended.
