- Rochester MSA Building Company v. UMB Bank, N.A. – In bond foreclosure action, indenture trustee’s motion for a final judgment regarding the outstanding principal due and foreclosure of the collateral was denied pending resolution of the reasonableness of legal fees imposed by the indenture trustee. Ed. Note: Might want to have some sad little associate look at your trustee docs (in this case, the forbearance agreement) in order to confirm that they do not contain the ambiguities that delayed the resolution of this foreclosure action.
- And finally, Barrel-Aged Mayhem is brought to us this week by City of Pikeville v. Kentucky Concealed Carry Coalition, Inc., in which a group of firearm aficionados sued the city over its “prohibition on the possession of firearms at certain events at the Expo Center where alcoholic beverages are served by the drink.” Curious. So firearms are fine at events where drinks are served by the keg? The flagon? We’ve been to conventions. We are not going back. Unless, that is, we’re ever invited to The 11th Annual Kentucky Bourbon & Indoor Skeet Symposium. In which case, count us in.
