Gocha v. Cooper (In re Bailey)

Ruling
Payments to debtor's parents on account of antecedent debt were avoidable.
Procedural posture

Plaintiff, the chapter 7 trustee, filed an adversary complaint against defendants, the parents of the debtor wife, seeking to avoid and recover a transfer of $ 11,000 made by the debtors within ninety days before filing their bankruptcy petition. At issue was whether the debtors made the transfer for or on account of an antecedent debt, that is, that was owed by the debtors before such transfer was made, under 11 U.S.C.S. § 547(b)(2).

Swope v. Tilton (In re Tilton Corp.)

Ruling
Release of liability on guarantee was not a preferential transfer.
Procedural posture

Chapter 7 trustee alleged that two prepetition transfers by a corporate debtor were preferential under 11 U.S.C.S. § 547(b). It was deemed admitted that one transfer was made in the ordinary course of the debtor's business and was therefore not preferential. Only the transfer to a bank and the resulting release of defendant shareholders as guarantors of the bank debt were at issue in the shareholders motion for summary judgment.
