The Supreme Court this morning reversed the Third Circuit in Czyzewski v. Jevic Holding Corp., holding that bankruptcy courts may not circumvent the Bankruptcy Code’s creditor-payment hierarchy by means of structured dismissals. The Court’s ruling was 6 to 2, with Justices Thomas and Alito arguing in dissent that the Court should have dismissed the case instead.
