Tennessee's Withdrawal of Claims

By Pamela Jones et al.

There are more bankruptcy filings in the SCO bankruptcy, including two that sent me on a deep search for what they mean. Tennessee's Department of Revenue has filed two Withdrawals of Claims, for claims 110 and 111. Why would Tennessee do that, I wondered? Are they giving up on getting paid? The amounts of the claims are a little over a thousand on one and a little over five thousand on the other. Had they decided it wasn't worth fighting for? Or was there a plan to go after SCO in some other way?

After hours and hours of research, I confess I am not sure what it means, bankruptcy not being my field. But if someone put a gun to my head and told me to tell what I think after all the research or else, I'd say my best guess is that Tennessee realized that SCO doesn't owe them those sums after all.

I learned some interesting things about withdrawing claims, though, which I'll share with you.
