How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- \ Section 523(c) evidences Congressional intent that a debtor shall be discharged even from fraudulent debt unless the creditor acts.\
- “The danger in waiting until the eve of the § 523(c) deadline before attempting to use an unfamiliar filing system is obvious.”
- “Mere attorney error does not fall within any of the legal theories discussed above,” and “the Supreme Court has expressly rejected such an excuse in the context of other claim processing rules.”
- “The result may seem harsh where the filing is but a single day late, but as the Supreme Court has noted on more than one occasion, to hold otherwise is to tread down the quintessential slippery slope.”
