The following excerpt is from In re Residential Capital, LLC, Case No. 12-12020 (MG) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2015):
3. Many of the cases discussed in the text are off-the-mark to the extent they hold that the bankruptcy court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over claims against the estate for personal injury tort or wrongful death claimsStern v. Marshall makes that point clearly. Even though the court has jurisdiction, section 157(b)(5) may require trial in the district court.
