The movant bears the burden of demonstrating by a preponderance of the evidence that the debtor’s debts were “consumer” rather than “business,” and the debtor’s subjective purpose in taking out the loans is a crucial factor where the debts do not fall neatly into either category. Centennial Bank v. Kane, No. 21-4597 (N.D. Cal. July 22, 2022).
|
The bankruptcy court gave the debtors guidance on how to challenge a decision issued by the Seventh Circuit earlier this month by pointing out, among other things, that the circuit court decision addressed an order not actually on appeal before it. In re Terrell, No. 18-28674 (Bankr. E.D. Wisc. July 19, 2022).
|
The court granted the trustee’s motion to modify the debtor’s Chapter 13 plan, finding that the debtor’s mortgage deferral due to Covid was an “unanticipated and substantial” change in his financial status which he had a duty to disclose and which increased his income for 18 months during the plan. In re Ilyev, No. 17-12987 (Bankr. E.D. Va. July 26, 2022).
|
“Indebtedness arising from a disbarred attorneys’ obligation to reimburse the State Bar for payments made by the CSF to victims of that attorney’s misconduct are not excluded from discharge under § 523(a)(7).” Kassas v. State Bar of Calif., No. 21-55900 (9th Cir. Aug. 1, 2022).
|
The bankruptcy court was not bound by the state court’s finding that the debtor’s ex-wife did not violate the stay when she had the debtor arrested for failure to pay domestic support out of an offshore trust he claimed no ownership interest in, but the court found the issues more appropriate for summary judgment and granted the debtor’s motion to vacate its earlier order of dismissal. Foufas v. Foufas, No. 20-22967, Adv. Proc. No. 22-1013 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. June 17, 2022).
