Minne v. Hinkhouse
Feb

2006
Ruling
Trustee, not the debtor, was the party with standing to pursue causes of action that were property of the estate.
Procedural posture
Plaintiffs, debtors, each filed petitions for chapter 7 bankruptcy. The debtors sued defendants, individuals, and alleged claims for relief for loss of economic advantage and destruction of business interests. The individuals moved to dismiss those claims on the ground that because those claims accrued prior to the debtors'filing for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee had exclusive standing to assert those claims.
