Annick Roy, as Special Administrator of the Estate of Jean-Guy Veilleux, Deceased, et al. v. Canadian Pacific Railway Company
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, No. 17-1108 · judgment June 2, 2021
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a First Circuit decision below, counsel with five or more prior petitions here, and a circuit split argued in the petition, and down for a business respondent.
Questions presented
-
The Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure govern procedure in “cases under title 11 of the United States Code.” Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1001. Does the term “cases under title 11” extend to cases in district court that are merely “related to a case under title 11,” such that the bankruptcy rules govern in all civil cases that could conceivably affect a bankruptcy?
-
The bankruptcy rules provide that, to toll the fourteen-day period in which to appeal the judgment “of a bankruptcy court,” a motion to reconsider the judgment under Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9023 must be filed “in the bankruptcy court” within fourteen days. Assuming the bankruptcy rules apply in district court, do the rules likewise require a motion to reconsider a district court’s judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) to be filed within 14 days?
