Small Business Bankruptcy Rights to Sunset on March 27, 2021

While there was no shortage of mega-bankruptcy filings last year, bankruptcy attorneys continue to scratch their heads at the absence of small-to-midsized corporate bankruptcy filings. There are several reasons for that absence. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) provided meaningful assistance to small business owners. In addition, economic stimulus checks provided some relief. Moratoriums were placed on federally guaranteed loans, and many states and cities halted evictions actions. With the change in administration, many are likely still trying to survive long enough for another round of stimulus.

What Happens When the Moratorium Ends?

Millions of borrowers continue to miss payments on personal loans, including auto, home and student loans. For the most part, these missed payments are consensual between the lender and the borrower. Otherwise, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) placed several temporary moratoriums on foreclosures and evictions of federally-backed loans. Additionally, most, if not all of the larger states and/or cities have instituted statewide or citywide moratoriums or limitations on trials, hearings and eviction procedures.
