- 11 U.S.C.
Ghomeshi v. Sabban (In re Sabban)
Feb
20
2008
Ruling
State court penalty based on debtor's violation of home improvement contractor licensing statute was nondischargeable although award of damages in the nature of disgorgement was not.
Procedural posture
Appellant creditor sought review of an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, that determined that an award of $ 123,500 under a state court judgment based on Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 7031 and 7160 was dischargeable. The debtor was a contractor who had falsely represented to the creditor that he was licensed. The issue was whether the debt was nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(2)(A).
