How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• Under Virginia law, the doctrine of “{u]nclean hands bars a party from receiving equitable relief because of that party’s own inequitable conduct.”
• “Food Lion’s argument is without merit. Kurfees’ debt to Food Lion was not ‘discharged’; rather, it was settled by an agreed order in the bankruptcy court. Section 524(e) does not preclude the consensual settlement of claims; it merely clarifies the effect of a discharge.”
