In light of the recent legal challenges mounted against the Commonwealth by various creditor groups, several readers of my blog and other professional contacts have reached out for insight into the complicated interplay between those lawsuits, Commonwealth law, PROMESA, and the federal Control Board. As such, I am pleased to announce a new series of MuddLaw legal update calls, on which I will give my own insights into the ongoing legal developments in the Commonwealth and will feature prominent guests involved in the suits and ongoing debt negotiations. The first call will be this Thursday, October 6th, at 10:30 am EDT. Details below:
When: Thursday, October 6th, at 10:30-11:30 am EDT
Dial-In: (877) 876-9174; International Dial-In: (785) 424-1669
Listener Code: 81014
My goal in hosting these calls is to give all Puerto Ricans, as well as stakeholders and observers throughout the island and the mainland, a better understanding of what these lawsuits are really about and how they will be impacted by PROMESA and an eventual debt restructuring and vice versa.
Please feel free to reach out to me with tips and suggestions for future calls. I look forward to the discussion to come.
In addition, http://www.promesacodex.com has full-text versions of PROMESA, relevant litigation filings and other information that may be useful for those following the situation closely.
