I can see a bankruptcy court requiring ARIN to NOT force a transferrer 
such as Nortel to sign any kind of document.

I cannot see a bankruptcy court requiring ARIN to have a recipient to
an address transfer such as Microsoft sign only an LRSA instead of an
RSA.  Microsoft isn't under bankruptcy court control.

Perhaps you could elaborate?  Hypothetically, of course?
