Jackson-Hewitt Tax Service Objection Filed

Jackson-Hewitt Tax Service's official committee of unsecured creditors filed with the US Bankruptcy Court an objection to the Debtors' motion on two counts. For the first count, they objected to an order scheduling a combined hearing on adequacy of the company's Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan, approving the form and manner of notice of a combined hearing and commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, establishing procedures for objecting to the Disclosure Statement and Plan, and waiving the requirement for a 341-meeting of creditors. On the second count, they objected to an order approving pre-petition solicitation procedures, approving adequacy of the company's Disclosure Statement, and confirming the Plan of Reorganization. According to the committee, the objections hinge on publication notices applying to 'known' creditors.
