Do most chapter 7 bankruptcy cases end up as chapter 11 liqidation cases?
No on all sides. First C-7 IS a liquidation, C-11 is a reorganization. Recently it has become popular to file under C-11 and actually dissolve, like a C-7. It has some operational and functional advantages...and it used to be if you operated in C-11 for a while, trying to get the most for creditors even though you knew the end result would be dissolution, at some point you would convert to a C-7. Now that costly and time consuming step is frequently avoided. It is still fair to say that most C-11 are actual reorganizations, with some continuation of the business enterprise.
