2007
Ruling
Bankruptcy court properly denied debtor's exemption in personal injury settlement funds that were not properly disclosed.
Procedural posture
The bankruptcy court concluded that appellee debtor acted in bad faith when she delaying disclosure of her interest in a personal injury suit, and thus denied an exemption that ordinarily applied to personal injury settlements under Utah law. The debtor appealed to the Tenth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, which reversed. The debtor and appellant trustee appealed.
