Gerard v. Gerard

Gerard v. Gerard

Ruling
State court slander of title judgment erroneously held nondischargeable where jury verdict could have been based on negligence rather than willful or malicious injury.
Issue(s)
Did the bankruptcy court err in concluding that the state court jury's slander of title findings preclusively established that Michael acted "willfully" within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6) and holding the judgment debt to be nondischargeable?
