Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
Gunter Hotel Associates (“Debtor”), in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, sought to reject a license agreement with Carlson Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Carlson”) that allowed it to operate as a “Radisson Hotel.” Rejection was desired due to concerns about Carlson operating a competing hotel and potential back fees if assumed. However, immediate rejection would harm the Debtor, as a national affiliation was crucial and new agreements were contingent on post-confirmation status. The Debtor proposed a “conditioned” rejection, postponing its effect and allowing continued use of Radisson’s system. Carlson argued rejection must be total and immediate, or the contract would survive confirmation. The Debtor’s plan included a clause retaining court jurisdiction over plan-related matters. The court had previously set the confirmation hearing as the deadline for assumption or rejection.
