This Practice Note, produced in partnership with Hillarie James and Kelly DiBlasi of Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, discusses the potential impact of the US Supreme Court’s ruling in Harrington v Purdue Pharma LP on striking down non-consensual third-party releases on recognition and enforcement of such releases in Chapter 15 proceedings. The US court ruled that these types of third-party releases (which effectively seek to discharge claims against a non-debtor without the consent of affected claimants) are not available in Chapter 11 plans under the US Bankruptcy Code. This decision is narrow in scope as it did not express a view on plans that provide for consensual releases of claims against non-debtors and how such consent will be defined in future cases.
