On May 14, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued its opinion in the case of In re Heritage Highgate, Inc., 679 F.3d 132 (3d Cir. 2012), concerning the lien of a junior secured creditor and the creditor's treatment under the debtor's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed.
