JPMorgan Says Lehman’s $8.6 Billion Suit Must Be Heard in District Court


From Bloomberg website on 8/6:
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), sued for $8.6 billion by bankrupt Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEHMQ), said the defunct firm’s common-law claims against it must be decided by a U.S. district court judge rather than a bankruptcy judge.

In a court filing yesterday in Manhattan, the New York-based bank said the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Anna Nicole Smith case limited the power of bankruptcy judges to rule on such claims.
