In re Kmart Corp.

Ruling
Court ruled that debtor payments made to critical vendors pursuant to court order, which was later reversed, were not exempted from payment recovery action.
Procedural posture

The court had previously approved plaintiff debtors'motion under 11 U.S.C. § 105(a) for authorization to pay prepetition claims of critical trade vendors (critical vendor order). The Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed the critical vendor order. The debtors then filed adversary proceedings against defendants, critical vendors, to recover payments made pursuant to the order. The critical vendors moved to dismiss.
