Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION PRESENTED Whether state courts may retroactively refuse to apply 11 U.S.C. §362(a)(3) as plainly worded, as well as attendant equitable tolling principles, after the bankruptcy court opined that asserting control over certain state court litigation claims would appear to violate the automatic stay because the claims were arguable property of the bankruptcy estate.
