Rent-A-Wreck Crash Into Bankruptcy Dismissed for Lack of Good Faith Filing

Chairman and CEO Andy Kassner and Corporate Restructuring associate Joe Argentina authored an article in The Legal Intelligencer titled “Rent-A-Wreck Crash Into Bankruptcy Dismissed for Lack of Good Faith Filing.” The article outlines the details of In re Rent-A-Wreck of America, Inc., et al., chapter 11 cases in which the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware concluded that the debtors had not filed their bankruptcy petitions in good faith, and consequently dismissed their cases.
