Case Notes
Dissolution Denied.
Bankruptcy court could neither recognize the dissolution of an LLC nor judicially dissolve the LLC because dissolution of an Arkansas LLC occurred upon the happening of one of four enumerated events, none of which had occurred. Further, judicial dissolution was reserved by statute for a circuit court within the state of Arkansas, and the court would not expand the definition of circuit court to include a federal bankruptcy court.
