Court Of Appeals Halts Order To Withdraw Detroit Bankruptcy Petition

Pre-Bankruptcy Filings Are Officially A Complicated Mess

Lansing -- The Michigan Court of Appeals on Tuesday granted Attorney General Bill Schuette's request to halt an Ingham County judge's order that Detroit's bankruptcy petition be withdrawn.

Last Friday, Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina issued a temporary injunction against Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr and Gov. Rick Snyder and ruled the bankruptcy filing violated the state constitution because it could impair constitutionally protected pension benefits for 10,000 city workers and 20,000 retirees.
