United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel

The United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP) is a specialized court that reviews decisions made by bankruptcy judges in federal courts. When someone disagrees with a ruling in a bankruptcy case, they can appeal to the BAP, which is made up of judges who have experience in bankruptcy law. The BAP aims to ensure fair interpretation of bankruptcy laws and provide consistency in rulings across different cases. This panel helps streamline the appeals process and is an important part of the U.S. bankruptcy system, assisting individuals and businesses navigating financial distress.
