Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether the equitable right to compel a covered company to maintain an IEP is a dischargeable "claim" under 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)(B).
2. Whether the Eleventh Circuit erred in holding that a covered company's Coal Act obligations arose, once and for all time, when the Act became law, such that a bankruptcy discharge relieves a company from its statutory obligations to maintain an IEP and pay Coal Act premiums incurred after bankruptcy.
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the equitable right to compel a covered company to maintain an IEP is a dischargeable 'claim' under 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)(B)
