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

Post-confirmation claims litigation in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a type of legal action that can be initiated by a creditor or the debtor to challenge or adjust the claims of existing creditors. It is a tool available to creditors and the debtor upon approval of the confirmation plan to ensure that all creditors receive an equitable distribution of the debtor’s assets. In most cases, post-confirmation claims litigation is initiated by a creditor who believes that the amount of the claim was not exchanged for the value of the asset. The creditor may want to have the claim reassessed for a larger payment. The creditor may dispute the amount of the claim or how the assets are distributed as part of the reorganization plan. The debtor may also initiate post-confirmation claims litigation if creditors are not given an equitable portion of the assets. The debtor may also wish to adjust the amount of money due to creditors to ensure that all creditors are being treated fairly. Post-confirmation claims litigation is an important part of the bankruptcy process and must be handled properly. It is important that a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney be consulted to ensure that the creditors’ claims are being handled correctly and that the debtor’s interests are protected.
