How courts have described this case

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

• “construing ‘personal injury’ to include non-physical injuries, such as emotional distress and defamation, is consistent with other constructions of ‘personal injury’ in bankruptcy related provisions of the U.S.Code.”
• “Because of the similarity of the statutes, courts use section 523(a)(6) case law to interpret the terms “willful” and “malicious” in section 1328(a)(4).”
• “‘[P]ersonal injury’ in the context [of] section 1328(a)(4) . . . excludes financial injury, but includes non-physical injuries, not just bodily injury.”
