Chubb & Son, Inc. v. Clark (In Re Clark)
United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
MONTALI, Bankruptcy Judge.
Recently both the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and this panel have criticized the practice of trustees routinely continuing creditors’ meetings to indefinite dates absent special circumstances. Nonetheless, we recognize that continuance of the meeting to dates certain can be justified where further investigation of the debtor is necessary. This case demonstrates the importance of distinguishing between unjustified and indefinite continuances and finite continuances where more information must be gathered.
