In re Jackson Hospital & Clinic, Inc. – Bankruptcy Court holds that it did not have have the authority – under the Bankruptcy Code – to extend the employment agreements of the law firms and consultants retained in connection with hospital debtor’s bankruptcy to also represent an affiliated medical clinic in connection with a proposed restructuring; medical clinic was neither a debtor, nor a debtor in possession and, as such, the medical clinic board was not a party that the law firms and consultants could be employed to represent.
And Finally, Guns Don’t Kill People; Rhode Island Zoning Laws Kill People is brought to us this week by Koziol Firearms, Inc. v. Marchand, in which the Koziol brothers petitioned the city to allow it to expand its legal noncomforming auto repair shop to accommodate a firearms manufacturing business. Apparently, the plan was that, when the automotive transmission and repair business would close for the day, the firearms business would be open for “an hour or two a day, five days a week.” The Supreme Court of Rhode Island stated, rather drily, that the “Operation of a business that would bring firearms to the neighborhood is counter to the establishment of a residential zone, for the purpose of promoting the public health, safety and general welfare.” Regardless, please sign us up for the wielding of firearms manufactured part-time in an automotive transmission and repair shop. What could possibly go wrong? Fingers grow back, right? Right?
