E.D. Pa. · 2025 · confidence medium
As the Eleventh Circuit has explained, permitting a party to withhold objections until appeal would enable litigants “to say nothing to the bankruptcy court, await its ruling, bypass that judgment, and for the first time take that objection to the district court.” Valdez v.
