Overview

Del Monte opposes efforts to fast track a bankruptcy appeal to a higher court. The company argues the request does not meet required legal standards.

Creditor groups support the company in challenging the minority lenders’ position. They emphasize existing bankruptcy rules already address the issues raised.

However, minority lenders claim unequal treatment compared with similarly ranked creditors. They argue the restructuring plan overlooks their recovery rights.

Courts declined attempts to delay implementation of the confirmed restructuring plan. Appeals continue as parties pursue alternative legal avenues.
