How Judge Nordin decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A late formal proof could amend an informal claim when it asserted nothing new and the creditor had timely established the claim and intent to pursue it.
“The proofs of claim filed by the Claimants in March 1983, do not assert any new claims against the estate. The proofs of claim should therefore be allowed as amendments to their informal claims.”
Procedural preferences
The court allowed integration of late claims where the case had proceeded on the assumption they would share in distributions and allowance would not prejudice or surprise other participants.
“there is no possibility of prejudice or surprise to Debtor or creditors by paying claims 8 and 9 on an equal basis with other general unsecured claims.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“That proofs of claim No. 8 and No. 9, filed by Alex Berco and Stella Berco respectively, are allowed as claims tardily filed pursuant to the General Order in Bankruptcy entered by the Bankruptcy Court of this District on October 30, 1980.”
