In re Circuit City Stores Inc.

Ruling
Right of reclamation extended only to goods provided to debtor, not to proceeds.
Procedural posture

Debtors in possession (DIPs), electronics retailers, moved for summary judgment on objections to reclamation claims asserted by respondents, creditors who claimed to have supplied products to DIPs within the 45-day period prior to the filing of the chapter 11 case. At issue was whether the creditors, by filing reclamation claims under 11 U.S.C.S. § 546(c), possessed claims that were either secured or entitled to priority under § 546(c).

In re Magwood

Ruling
Seller's right to reclaim vehicle was stayed on petition date.
Procedural posture

Creditor filed a motion for relief from the automatic stay to exercise its right under 11 U.S.C.S. § 546(c)(1) to reclaim a vehicle sold to the debtor. The debtor objected to the motion. The issue was whether a sale must have been in the ordinary course of business of both the buyer and seller to give the seller a right of reclamation.
