In re Positive Health Mgmt: Fifth Circuit Clarifies Section 548(c) Good Faith Fraudulent Transfer Defense | Practical Law
The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held, in Williams v. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (In re Positive Health Management), that where a debtor's payments to a lender acting in good faith constituted actual fraudulent transfers, the lender could retain the payment under the affirmative defense of section 548(c) of the Bankruptcy Code only to the extent that these payments were netted against the value that the lender gave to the debtor in exchange.
