Rebel Creamery filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Utah on 14 August – less than a month after Van Leeuwen Ice Cream won a $23.785 million (£17.6 million) judgment against the company.
The Utah-based ice cream maker listed assets and liabilities between $10 million and $50 million (£7.4 million to £37 million). Rebel filed an appeal on 12 August, two days before seeking bankruptcy protection.
