11 U.S.C.

Hedlund v. Educational Res. Inst. Inc.

May

2013

Ruling

District court erred in reinstating student loan debt after de novo, rather than clear error, review of finding of good faith.

Procedural posture

Debtor, a law school graduate, sought a discharge of his student loans under 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(8). The bankruptcy court granted a partial discharge, but, on appeal, the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon reinstated the student loan debt in full as non-dischargeable, finding that debtor had not acted in good faith, which was one of three prerequisites for relief under 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(8). Debtor appealed.
