If this decision was just about third-party releases, it wouldn't be before the court. And you know that.

What is the difference between a discharge and release as it relates to the §1123(b)(6) “any other appropriate provision” power this case is about? You seem to have clarity the Court’s members couldn’t find.

You, then: As the dissent notes, third-party releases are part of the law.

Gets called out for over-simplifying the case.

You, now: What is the difference between a discharge and release as it relates to the §1123(b)(6) “any other appropriate provision” power this case is about?

Indeed. Maybe next time, stop pretending there isn't more to it.
