U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-6033
and No: 12-6035
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota - Fergus Falls
[PUBLISHED] [Federman, Author, with Venters and Saladino,
Bankruptcy Judges]
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. The bankruptcy court did not err in
rejecting the bank's "floating lien" defense under Sec. 574(c)(5), its
"ordinary course of business" defense under Sec. 547(c)(2) or its "new
value" defense under Sec. 547(c)(4); bankruptcy court correctly found
that payment to the bank of funds which were held in debtor's account at
the bank at the start of the liquidation period was not a preferential
transfer or an improper setoff; bankruptcy court did err in giving the bank
a credit for a consulting fee it paid to a retail liquidator, and that sum
should be deducted from the judgment.
