Collision of Court of Review and Court of Commissioners
In a landmark bankruptcy ruling Judge Foablanque upheld independence of the two branches, ruling that the Court of Review cannot compel commissioners to accept references and that the Court of Review alone may issue certain orders. The dispute stems from Benjamin Rye’s 1825 bankruptcy and a contested assignment and undue preference. The decision emphasizes jurisdictional boundaries and warns against inter-branch overreach to avoid future delays and expenses.
