Victory in Scheps case
HARRISBURG Attorney
Marian Schwalm Furman won an
important victory Thursday, July
26, in Bankruptcy Court in
Newark, N.J., for those farmers
she represents who were sued by
the Trustee in the Scheps
bankruptcy.
Judge Commisa ruled against
the Trustee at Mrs. Furman’s
request on the Trustee's, “Motion
for Summary Judgement.” If this
motion had been approved, the
Trustee would have had a
judgement against the farmers
and could have collected the
money that they received form the
Scheps last July.
The Trustee sued to recover this
money, which the Scheps paid to
farmers after they filed their
bankruptcy petition. Payments by
a bankrupt to creditors after the
bankruptcy petition has been filed

constitute a violation of
bankruptcy law under some cir
cumstances.
Judge Commisa’s decision last
Thursday does not end the
Trustee’s case. It still can go to
trial on factual issues. However,
according to Mrs. Furman, if the
Scheps are allowed to reopen their
plant real soon, and if the Trustee
bows out or the Court removes the
Trustee, these suits will dry up.
She said she has the agreement of
the Scheps’ attorneys that they will
not pressure the Trustee’s suits
(even though they legally could do
so), and that in court last Thursday
the Scheps’ attorneys opposed the
Trustee’s suits.
Mrs. Furman said that un
fortunately this favorable ruling
only applies to those farmers she
represents, and that the motion for
summary judgement against those
farmers who have been sued but
whom she does not represent will
be heard later, with the outcome
unknown at this time.
The Pennsylvania Farmers
Union, the Pennsylvania State
Grange and the Northern Tier Milk
Producers have been paying the
out-of-pocket expenses for Mrs.
Furman, who has been donating
her time and legal fees in the
Scheps case. Chester L. Reed,
State Executive Director said
today, “This is a small victory for
the farmers that Attorney Furman
has been representing.”
