Abstract

The Supreme Court of the United States held that section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code directs the application of the replacement value standard to collateral when a Chapter 13 debtor exercises the cram down option of section 1325(a)(5)(B) in its rehabilitation plan by retaining and using the collateral over the secured creditor's objection.
