Limiting Trustee Remedies in Lien Avoidance Actions
In July 2009, Ms. Rabeler was featured with fellow attorney Jack Smith as a guest columnist in Bankruptcy Law360, in a piece examining a ruling issued by the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Tenth Circuit which limits remedies in lien avoidance actions, and which has a significant impact on bankruptcy trustees, as well as on secured lenders, especially consumer lenders. The ruling favors secured creditors whose liens are challenged. Ms. Rabeler represented one of the creditor defendants in that Tenth Circuit matter.
