True Lease or Not True Lease, That is the Question

Event Description

Remote participation only.

This program is sponsored by the MSBA Bankruptcy Section.  There will be a brief Section business meeting prior to the CLE.

Labeling an agreement covering the financing of personal property as a lease doesn’t make it so. To ascertain whether an agreement is a true lease or a disguised security agreement, courts must look to state law. In the context of treatment in bankruptcy, the determination is often significant. However, courts haven’t necessarily been consistent in addressing what circumstances are dispositive. We’ll explore the legal authority on this topic and discuss what factors are typically examined.
