In Re Lowery

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that “[t]he public interest in the systemic integrity of the bankruptcy process dictates that a bankruptcy court should withhold relief that encourages the concealment of assets by debtors”
• noting that an undisclosed personal injury action “remains property of the estate even after the closing of [the] bankruptcy case”
• noting that the debtor’s duty to disclose “is a continuing one and does not end with the filing of the bankruptcy petition.”
• reasoning that an affirmative finding to this effect would negate the inference that non-disclosure was the product of an innocent mistake
• finding the potential benefit to creditors insufficient to reopen when there were four creditors with aggregate claims of $13,249.90 and ten to fourteen years had passed from the time the claims was incurred
• finding $13,259.90 in claims held by four creditors—$3,312.48 per creditor—to be insufficient to reopen
