Federal bankruptcy courts

U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Pennsylvania

• In re Pittsburgh Corning Corporation (2013). The bankruptcy court confirmed Pittsburgh Corning's Modified Third Amended Plan of Reorganization and issued the §524(g) asbestos channeling injunction, overruling the objections of insurer Mt. McKinley and Garlock Sealing Technologies.
• In re Pittsburgh Corning Corporation (2013). The bankruptcy court confirmed Pittsburgh Corning's Modified Third Amended Plan, issued the §524(g) asbestos channeling injunction, and overruled the objections of Garlock Sealing Technologies and Mt. McKinley Insurance/Everest Reinsurance.
• In re Pittsburgh Corning Corporation (2011). The bankruptcy court denied confirmation of the Debtor's Modified Third Amended Plan because the channeling injunction was over-inclusive and the insurance neutrality language was ambiguous. It rejected Garlock's objections and Mt. McKinley's good-faith and TDP objections, and allowed the Plan Proponents to file an amended plan.
