What is “post-confirmation claims litigation” in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

Post-confirmation claims litigation in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy refers to court proceedings related to claims that remain after a bankruptcy plan is approved and reorganization is completed. These claims may be either based on pre-confirmation (before plan approval) or post-confirmation (after plan approval) events and actions. In a post-confirmation claims litigation, a bankruptcy court is tasked with deciding the validity and monetary value of the claims and how they should be paid. These claims may arise from creditor or shareholder suits, malpractice suits against bankruptcy attorneys, and appeals of bankruptcy plan decisions. The bankruptcy court is responsible for determining the validity of each claim and ruling on any objections. In some cases, the court may also rule on whether the claims should be paid in full or partially. The post-confirmation claims litigation process is complex and involves a number of legal issues, such as the classification of the claims and the legal procedure for enforcing them. In Texas, the post-confirmation claims litigation process is governed by the Bankruptcy Code and the Attorney General’s Rules. The post-confirmation claims litigation process helps ensure the successful completion of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan. The process is designed to resolve disputes without further delaying or impeding the reorganization process. In the end, it works to ensure the payment of debts and the successful transition of the business into its post-bankruptcy state.
