2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The justification for the recoupment doctrine is that “where the creditor’s claim against the debtor arises fivm the same transaction as the debtor’s claim, it is essentially a defense to the debtor’s claim against the creditor....” We have held that the trustee of a bankruptcy estate “takes the property subject to the rights of recoupment.” In other words, to the extent that a party is entitled to recoupment of funds, “the debtor has no interest in the funds.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“setoff is asserted for the purpose of reducing or extinguishing a creditor’s claim against the debtor when “the mutual debt and claim contemplated are generally those arising from different transaction.... Recoupment, on the other hand, is the setting up of a demand arising from the same transaction as the plaintiffs claim or cause of action, strictly for the purpose of abatement or reduction of such claim.””
