The briefs of the U.S. trustee and his amici in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma, Sup. Ct. No. 22-124, demonstrate that there is no statutory basis on which a bankruptcy court may grant nondebtors a release from liability as a part of a plan of reorganization. The Solicitor General treats the question as if it were like an off-on switch, either the court can or cannot grant a release. But even if the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit were right that some releases are permitted, there are many other significant questions about who is entitled to a release, and under what circumstances, on which the statute provides absolutely no guidance.  Those additional questions should only be answered by Congress and not the bankruptcy court, which is a further basis why the Second Circuit decision upholding the release should be reversed.
