To limit the amount of a homestead exemption under Section 522(q)(1)(B)(ii), the fraud must have occurred after the debtor became a fiduciary.

The inability to modify a Section 524(a) discharge put the Ninth Circuit BAP in a bind.

A BAP decision raises the question of whether Ninth Circuit authority has been implicitly overruled by Supreme Court decisions.

The circuits are split on whether equity can extend the 60-day deadline for filing dischargeability complaints.

The Ninth Circuit BAP explains why Bartenwerfer didn’t open the door to vicarious liability for all forms of nondischargeability in Section 523(a).

If a fraudulent omission were a ‘statement,’ the BAP explains why nondischargeability would be almost impossible to prove.

Affirming Bankruptcy Judge Michael Romero, the district court holds that an exemption remains valid even though the exempt property remains subject to a nondischargeable domestic support obligation.

Circuit court upholds Bankruptcy Judge Jernigan: Notice by publication doesn’t discharge claims from a lease that rode through chapter 11 or was assumed.

Bankruptcy judges continue to disagree on whether debts of corporations with cramdown plans in Subchapter V can have nondischargeable debts.

Reversing the BAP, the Ninth Circuit held that equitable considerations may stop the government from recovering disability overpayments, when the doctrine of recoupment otherwise would have allowed recovery despite the debtor’s chapter 7 discharge.
