The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments November 5, 2025, in In re Vista-Pro Automotive LLC, addressing whether there's a time limit for challenging void judgments.
The Sixth Circuit held that even void judgments must be challenged within a "reasonable time" under Rule 60(c), deepening a circuit split with nine other circuits that impose no deadline.
The case pits procedural finality against due process principles. The Court is considering whether a judgment entered without proper jurisdiction can ever become valid through delay?
The Court's decision has the potential of significantly impacting litigation strategy for bankruptcy practitioners and litigators nationwide.
