How courts have described this case

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

• noting that the discretionary power to deny conversion should be exercised sparingly
• allowing a debtor to convert to Chapter 13 in spite of the possibility that he may be unable to confirm a plan
• “The authorities are considerably less than uniform as to whether the right to convert to chapter 13 is wholly absolute by statute.”
• not bad faith for debtor to seek conversion to Chapter 13 to avoid adversary proceeding under Section 523(a) even where debtor’s chance for success in Chapter 13 was slight
• without defining extreme circumstances, the court found that conversion from chapter 7 to chapter 13 for the purpose of avoiding dischargeability litigation fell below the threshold for denying conversion
