6th Circuit

In Ohio, the debtor won’t lose the homestead exemption by transferring a home to a revocable trust.

Someone who commits fraud can’t be denied a discharge for that reason alone if the debtor kept accurate books and records of the fraud.

Is a bankruptcy court improperly making federal common law in defining an exemption contrary to state law in an aspect of the exemption not explicitly covered by Section 522(d)(1)?

The BAP decision on voluntary dismissal under Rule 41 adds credence to the idea that bankruptcy courts can attach conditions to a debtor’s voluntary dismissal under Section 1307(b).

Circuit courts differ on their understanding of Supreme Court precedent and are now split 3/3 on whether a real estate tax foreclosure can be set aside as a constructive fraudulent transfer.

At the courthouse, the public is only entitled to free access to papers filed in that district.

Curiously, bifurcated fee arrangements are sometimes permitted in the Eastern District of Kentucky.

A statutory violation by itself won’t necessarily give a plaintiff constitutional standing.

Courts are split on whether chapter 13 effectively prohibits debtors from making voluntary contributions to 401(k) plans.

Disagreeing with two other circuits, the Sixth Circuit finds no power in the bankruptcy court to avoid dismissing a chapter 13 case even if the debtor filed repeatedly in bad faith to avoid foreclosure.
