ABI Resident Scholar Andrew Dawson talks with Chief Bankruptcy Judge Brendan Shannon (D.Del.; Wilmington) and Prof. Anthony Casey of the University of Chicago Law School about intercreditor and "bad boy" agreements in corporate bankruptcy cases. Prof. Casey is a co-author of "Bankruptcy on the Side," a paper that examines the question of how judges should interpret and enforce side agreements. Judge Shannon, with more than 12 years of experience on the Delaware bench, provides his thoughts on the research and the challenges that these often side agreements present in his courtroom.
