Street v. Street - Ex-Husband's Summary Judgment Motion Denied

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee denied Nicholas Street's Motion for Summary Judgment seeking to declare $11,924.42 in divorce-related obligations nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(15). The Court found the motion deficient for citing law from an incorrect jurisdiction and failing to include a statement of undisputed material facts, and further identified genuine disputes of material fact regarding whether the obligations constitute financial support or allocation of marital expenses. A pretrial conference is scheduled for April 7, 2026.

Hiawatha Manor Association v. Abernathy et al. - Chapter 11 Opinion

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee granted summary judgment in favor of Hiawatha Manor Association, Inc., authorizing the Chapter 11 debtor to sell entire timeshare properties pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363(h) despite holding only tenant-in-common interests alongside thousands of other timeshare owners. The ruling approves a novel use of Chapter 11 to convert fractional timeshare interests into fee simple ownership, resolving longstanding property decline, 75 percent owner delinquency rates, and abandonment issues at Hiawatha East and Hiawatha West Resorts in Crossville, Tennessee.

Hiawatha Manor Association Inc v. Carrara - Timeshare Chapter 11 Summary Judgment

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee issued a memorandum opinion on April 22, 2026 authorizing Hiawatha Manor Association, Inc. (Debtor) to sell both its own timeshare interests and all co-owner timeshare interests in two properties pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363(h). The Debtor, a Chapter 11 filer since May 6, 2025, sought to convert approximately 1,500 to 2,800 timeshare intervals across the East Property (47 units) and West Property (70 units) from fractional interval ownership to fee simple ownership. After extensive hearings over one year, the Court found the proposed sale benefits the bankruptcy estate as well as the defendant timeshare owners.
