In re Macfarland
Nov
10
2011
Ruling
Debtors' counsel sanctioned for objecting to claims and scheduling debts as disputed without good faith basis.
Procedural posture
The court conducted show-cause hearings in 11 chapter 13 cases to determine whether each debtors' counsel violated Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9011(b) by filing claim objections and if so, whether the debtors' counsel should be sanctioned. In those cases in which claims were disallowed, the court considered whether the claim objections should be stricken and whether the orders disallowing the claims should be vacated pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9024.
