marayatano: First, I think you actually meant "executory", but I still like the typo. :)
Second: I have a hard time believing that the Dimes would allow this to become a game of chicken, a binary event with a huge win or huge loss as an outcome. I have to believe that they - the parties - have given great consideration to including Dimes in the settlement and then telling the judge to file and never issue her decision on the dimes. I could see, of the many possibilities, for example, Dimes agreeing to reduce their claim by 50+% and the debtor and the other parties agreeing to not contest Dimes' status as debt subject to Dimes' agreement to that haircut. Final arguments may only have been for negotiating purposes.
