Giesbrecht v. Fitzgerald (In re Giesbrecht)

Ruling
Case remanded to allow confirmation of debtor's original plan proposing direct payments of car loan to creditor.
Procedural posture

Debtors sought review of orders from the bankruptcy court for the Western District of Washington, which entered judgment in favor of appellee trustee and denied confirmation of the debtors' plan because it proposed direct payments of a car loan to a creditor instead of through the plan and which confirmed the debtors' amended plan, which proposed to pay the car loan through the plan.

In re Carey

Ruling
Confirmation denied as plan was not feasible.
