In re Ross

How courts have described this case

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

• \[A] debtor's lack of knowledge ... of a cause of action is irrelevant for the purpose of determining ownership in a bankruptcy proceeding.\
• implanted medical device constituted an injury when, post-bankruptcy, it became a harm recognized by the medical community, and therefore failure- to-warn cause of action did not accrue pre-bankruptcy
• “The Chapter 7 trustee, standing in the debtor’s shoes, can main-tain only those actions that the debtor could have brought prior to or when she filed her bankruptcy petition”
• “complete and present action” existed not when the debtor knew she had a legally cognizable injury but when “the elements necessary to commence an action under state law” were “present”
