FOR Strategic Considerations: Panelists include: Wednesday, April 7, 2010 PROGRAM NOTE FOLLOW UP Note from Bill McGrane: I attach In re Macke, a case where the BAP for this Circuit upheld an award of attorney�s fees and costs against a petitioning creditor whose case was dismissed on account of abstention under Section 305(a) rather than for any of the causes set forth in Section 303. As there was such debate about the risks of an unsuccessful petition as well as the impact of abstention as an independent ground for dismissal, this is a bit of legal authority which the attendees should be made aware of.
