Bush v. U.S.

In a decision on rehearing, the circuit court revised it prior decisions in a case involving the question of whether a bankruptcy court can determine the amount of a debtor’s tax obligations when the debtor is unlikely to pay them. The Seventh Circuit vacated the judgment of the district court with instructions to determine whether related-to jurisdiction applied and, if so, whether to abstain from asserting jurisdiction in favor of the Tax Court.
