- 11 U.S.C.
Johnson v. Curtis (In re Curtis)
May
24
2006
Ruling
Debts owed to lenders were dischargeable despite debtor's omission of pertinent information since lenders failed to show they justifiably relied on the misrepresentations.
Procedural posture
Adversary plaintiffs who each made personal short term loans to debtor with the promise of quick and dramatic profits, sought a determination of the nondischargeability of their respective debt, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(2)(A). Debtor had been the victim of a long-running scheme whereby he repeatedly paid fees to European swindlers for the promise of a large commission.
