Fairchild Dornier GMBH v. Official Comm. of Unsecured Creditors, 05-1930
The bankruptcy court's recharacterization of a sale of parts is affirmed where: 1) recharacterization of claims is within the broad powers of a bankruptcy court; 2) recharacterization exists separately from the court's disallowance and equitable subordination powers; and 3) the factual determinations were not clearly erroneous and supported the court's recharacterization.
