Procedural posture
After appellee debtor filed for bankruptcy, appellant creditor petitioned to have his judgment of $272,745.50 against the debtor declared nondischargeable, relying on 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(2)(A), which barred discharge of any debt obtained by misrepresentation or fraud. The bankruptcy court granted his petition as to $88,000 of the debt. The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the First Circuit (BAP) reversed. Plaintiff appealed.
