Latest Bankruptcy News
A bankruptcy court in the District of South Carolina found that the objective standard in a civil contempt proceeding, under which the creditor may assert a fair ground of doubt as to whether its conduct violated a court order, applies in the context of a contempt action based on violation of a Chapter 13 discharge order. In re Seaver, No. 20-2238 (Bankr. D. S.C. May 13, 2022).
The County Animal Control Office did not violate the automatic stay when it refused to return 36 cats it had confiscated from the debtor’s property where it acted within its police and regulatory powers, and the court lacked jurisdiction to order the return of the cats where the trustee had abandoned them. In re Mitchell-Smith, No. 21-57646 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. June 17, 2022).

Each year, millions of individuals and families across the country struggle to pay their bills. Often financial distress follows on the heels of other unanticipated events such as job loss, divorce, substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses and natural disasters. Bankruptcy may provide these debtors with the opportunity for a fresh start. However, bankruptcy debtors, lacking both financial resources and exposure to the bankruptcy system, often do not have the ability to protect the integrity of the bankruptcy system and preserve the bankruptcy rights of consumer debtors more generally. The National Consumer Bankruptcy Rights Center (NCBRC) was created to fill that vacuum.
