Heading: Motion for Clarification/Reconsideration

Text: On November 30, 2011, the Zeltser Group filed a motion for clarification and/or reconsideration of the June 7, 2011 Schedule Order. The Zeltser Group argued, for the first time in the proceedings, that the bankruptcy court could not adjudicate the ownership issue (1) without joinder of all indispensable parties, and (2) without violating due process because the ownership issue was raised as a contested matter in the Redmond Group’s motion to strike rather than as an adversary proceeding. The motion listed a string of individuals and entities that were allegedly involved in the ownership chain and therefore “indispensable,” including the Valmore Trust, Miselva, JWL, Fisher Limited, Grosvenor, Badri’s widow, and Imedinvest. 16 Case: 12-15595 Date Filed: 02/20/2015 Page: 17 of 57 The bankruptcy court denied the motion for clarification/reconsideration, finding that any objection should have been raised contemporaneously with entry of the agreed-upon Schedule Order, not several months after-the-fact.
