A review of current cases and developing trends considering the efficacy of section 362 automatic stay waivers in commercial mortgages, ... or "What do you have to lose?"
Article Abstract:
People entering into commercial mortgages often are given contracts that waive their rights under Bankruptcy Code section 362 to automatic stay in case of bankruptcy. Such waivers are contested in courts, but attorneys for secured parties can use principles from In re Jenkins Court Associates L.P. to underscore the rights to waive automatic stays. Bankruptcy Code section 362 allows automatic stay of debt payment once bankruptcy proceedings have been initiated.
