Universal Church v. Geltzer

Universal Church v. Geltzer

Ruling
Bankruptcy court erred in failing to determine if debtor was insolvent at time of charitable contributions trustee sought to avoid.
Procedural posture

Appellant church, a nonprofit corporation, sought review of a judgment from the District Court for the Eastern District of New York, which held that the Religious Liberty and Charitable Donation Protection Act did not prevent appellee bankruptcy trustee from avoiding a chapter 7 debtor's donations to the church under 11 U.S.C. § 548(a)(2). The church also appealed the denial of its motion to reconsider.
