Conti v. Coastal Warranty LLC (Adv. Pro. 15-09035)

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

The Court granted summary judgment in favor of Plaintiff, Trustee, bringing a 547(b) action against the Defendant, on cross motions for summary judgment.  The Court found that two payments made from the Debtor to the Defendant five days before the petition date were preferential.  The Debtor made two payments from an account created as the result of a contract between Debtor and Defendant, which set up a relationship whereby the Defendant sold warranties and the Debtor administered the warranties, paying claims and insuring the warranties through its relationship with a third party.  In dispute was the interest of the Debtor in the account, whether the Defendant was a creator, and whether the court should impose a constructive trust over the funds in the account to the benefit of the Defendant.
