Jurisdiction transferred?

I may be mistaken, but I think the parties in the Washington DC case (the same parties as in Delaware) requested a stay (temporary halt of proceedings in DC) in the Washington DC Court to stall and see how the court in Delaware was going to react to the draft POR. If the court in Delaware had accepted and ruled on the POR, the case in DC would have to take a different route to resolution, or simply be withdrawn, which is what the BOD intended if the POR had been accepted. The parties (in DC) did not request jurisdiction be passed.

The BK court in Delaware is hearing the Chapter 11 case of WMI and its only concern is the reorganization of WMI. Any filings by attorneys for the parties in Delaware must follow the ‘predetermined’ framework for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. All of the attorneys know this and that is why none has yet filed ‘fraudulent conveyance’ or any other similar charge. These other charges belong in a court other than bankruptcy, such as the case in Washington, DC. EOM
