Bankruptcy appellate panel erred in holding that bankruptcy court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over tort claims of unsuccessful bidder on chapter 11 debtor's assets.
Procedural posture
Appellee, the unsuccessful bidder in a sale of a chapter 11 debtor's assets, appealed after the Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri dismissed the tort claims that it asserted against appellant asset purchasers. The bankruptcy appellate panel (BAP) sua sponte found that the bankruptcy court lacked jurisdiction over the complaint. The purchasers challenged that decision.
