Mission Product Holdings, Inc. v. Tempnology, LLC

Decided May 20, 2019. Elena Kagan delivered the opinion of the Court.

Docket 17-1657 · 587 U.S. 370 · Cited 191 times

A bankruptcy debtor’s rejection of an executory contract under 11 U. S. C. §365 has the same effect as a breach of that contract outside bankruptcy; such an act thus cannot rescind rights that the contract previously granted.
