Tidewater Fin. Co. v. Williams
Aug

2007
Ruling
Intervening chapter 13 filing did not equitably toll six-year waiting period for filing second chapter 7 case.
Procedural posture
Appellant creditor sought review of a judgment of the District Court for the District of Maryland affirming a bankruptcy court order granting summary judgment to appellee debtor in an adversary proceeding that the creditor commenced after the debtor filed a chapter 7 petition. The district court held that 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(8) did not provide grounds for denying discharge because equitable tolling did not apply to section 727(a)(8).
