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

• section 524(e) permits a plaintiff to proceed against the debtor to establish liability as a prerequisite to recover from an insurer
• “A bankruptcy discharge and the concomitant injunction against subsequent actions are designed to give the debtor a financial ‘fresh start.’ ”
• “The ‘fresh-start’ policy is not intended to provide a method by which an insurer can escape its obligations based simply on the financial misfortunes of the insured.”
• “In short, we find that the possibility [as opposed to an actuality] that the debtor will be responsible to pay any amount associated with defending this action is so remote that the fresh-start policy is simply not defeated.”
