A unanimous Supreme Court today ruled that debtors in bankruptcy may not immediately appeal the rejection of a repayment plan, but must wait until a plan is confirmed before appealing to a higher court. Writing for the court, Chief Justice John Roberts agreed that only an order confirming a payment plan is immediately appealable, the Associated Press reports. An appeals court had found similarly, that a rejected order was not final because the debtor could still propose another plan. The Memphis Daily News has the story.
