Nicole E. Schiavo discusses the conflict between New York's legislation requiring mandatory settlement conferences in foreclosure actions and the Bankruptcy Code's prohibition against a creditor taking any act that can be construed as trying to collect a discharged debt from a debtor.

In a recently decided, but long-running dispute, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has found that oil producers do not hold automatically perfected security interests in product they sell to midstream intermediaries, nor are the proceeds generated through the subsequent sale of such product held in an implied trust for the benefit of the upstream producers, as held in Arrow Oil & Gas v. J. Aron (In re SemCrude), 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 12975 (3d Cir. July 19).
