In re Enron Corp.
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
274 B.R. 327 (2002)
Enron (debtor), a multinational corporation with 18 affiliates and 25,000 employees headquartered in Texas but with affiliates incorporated across five states, filed what was then thought to be the largest bankruptcy case ever, in the Southern District of New York; many of Enron's largest creditors were New York banks with billion-dollar claims, and Enron's attorneys and other professionals were headquartered in New York. A group of creditors moved to transfer the case to Texas, while Enron, its largest creditors, and the official committee of unsecured creditors opposed the move.
Whether a bankruptcy case's venue should be transferred from the debtor's chosen forum to the debtor's headquarters state when the debtor's largest creditors and professional representatives are located in, and find it more convenient to litigate in, the originally chosen forum.
