United States Seventh Circuit

Family dairy farmers who released their lender liability claims against their bank as part of their confirmed Chapter 12 reorganization plan, are still bound by that release after they had the plan dismissed. In finding "cause" to order this, the bankruptcy court acted within its discretion under 11 U.S.C. section 349(b).
