United States Insolvency/Bankruptcy/Re-Structuring

(7th Cir. June 23, 2016)

The Seventh Circuit reverses the bankruptcy court, concluding that the bankruptcy code permits modification of a confirmed Chapter 13 plan based on increased income post-confirmation. While the code does not expressly permit modification on this basis, other courts have permitted this. The trustee had filed a motion to increase the debtors' plan payments based on an alleged $50,000 post-confirmation increase in the debtors' annual income. Opinion below.

Judge: Adelman

Attorney for Debtor: Eugene Wedoff

Attorney for Trustee: Kenneth T. Siomos
