In re Pialet

Ruling
Debtors could not reopen case to administer default judgment of which they had been unaware and had not originally scheduled.
Procedural posture

Bankruptcy debtors asserted that, before their bankruptcy case was closed, they were unaware of a default judgment and did not list the judgment or the judgment creditor in their schedules, and the creditor similarly asserted that it was unaware of the debtors' bankruptcy. The debtors moved to reopen their case to add the creditor and obtain a discharge of the judgment debt.
