In a decision recently issued by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, In re Argon Credit, No.16-bk-39654 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Jan. 10, 2019), the court held that standby limitation provisions in subordination agreements prevented the subordinated lenders from pursuing discovery on the senior lender’s claim, as the subordination agreement in question was enforceable under 11 U.S.C.
