We have provided legal representation to a multitude of produce suppliers and dealers in cases involving the federal Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act ("PACA") and similar legislation. These cases typically revolve around breach of trust and other tort claims against individuals associated with the non-compliant business. Moreover, these cases often entail requests for temporary restraining orders (TROs), which are filed at the outset of proceedings and without prior notification to the debtors, aiming to freeze the debtors' assets. While such requests are seldom granted as a matter of routine, we have never encountered a denial of such an application. In fact, the resulting TROs frequently pave the way for swift and effective resolutions.
