U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-2582
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel erred by
introducing a separate "balancing of the equities" test into the doctrine of
recoupment and by invoking these equitable principals to deny Standard a
right of recoupment after finding that the obligations at issue arose out of
the same transaction; reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
