In Tronox, 2nd Circ. Sends Clear Message About Injunctions

By Jack Haake, Foley & Lardner LLP ( May 5, 2017, 3:05 PM EDT) -- Does a court of appeals have appellate jurisdiction over a post-judgment order, merely interpreting and enforcing a final bankruptcy injunction, in the absence of an award of sanctions for noncompliance?
