How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- indicating that the debtor did not have a meaningful ability to repay her debts outside of bankruptcy or under chapter 13 because of her student loan and therefore she had rebutted the presumption of abuse by demonstrating special circumstances
- finding special circumstances were established, in part, by the fact that the debtor’s student loans were nondischargeable
- “there is simply no logic to essentially forcing a debtor into a Chapter 13 case if the distribution in that case will yield nothing to unsecured creditors”
- ”[T]he plain meaning of 'special' provides some instruction to the Court that the expense or adjustment to income in question must be out of the ordinary or exceptional in some way.”
- discussing legislative history and Congressional intent
