Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg today stayed bankruptcy court orders that approved the sale of Chrysler to Fiat.
Her Honor serves as the Circuit Justice who oversees matters in the Second Circuit.
The order (courtesy of SCOTUSBLOG) said:
UPON CONSIDERATION of the application of counsel for the applicants, and the responses filed thereto,
IT IS ORDERED that the orders of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, case No. 09-50002, dated May 31 and June 1, 2009, are stayed pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court.
SCOTUSBLOG offers commentary, too — noting, among other things, that the order has almost zero "legal significance".
