    In the same source it says this:

    Quote:

    In February 2019, it was announced that a U.S. bankruptcy judge approved the sale of the most lucrative part of Sears Holdings to Edward Lampert allowing the surviving part of the company that operates both Sears and Kmart to remain in business at the expense of suppliers, landlords, employees, pensioners, the U.S. government, and other creditors. Kmart would have 202 locations after the sale is completed

    "...at the expense of a bunch of creditors" sure sounds like no liabilities when with the sale.

    That doesn't mean that they can't enforce a contract for a signing bonus. Besides, that signing contract is not a liability. It is an asset in this case.

    Oh budwad, they didn't even by all of the assets. And I certainly am willing to bet they didn't buy one that could turn into a liability at the drop of a hat.

    The entire company was NOT purchased. Only some of the assets were purchased. They did not purchase liabilities. The question is whether or not they purchased employee contracts of the specific employees to whom they offered jobs, and whether or not those contracts were even an asset that could be purchased.

    Seriously Bud, you don't know enough about the buying and selling of large corporate businesses that are in bankruptcy to understand the terminology that you are reading if you believe that what you quoted indicated that they bought the whole company.

    Because corporations must be represented by an attorney and attorneys cannot appear in small claims court.

    That's not correct in the OP's state (and, in fact, most states allow attorneys in small claims court).

    Complete and total diarrhea of the mouth. Now you, the account, is an expert in corporate actuations in bankruptcy law. Why don't you explain the terminology that you believe I don't understand.
