Ruling
Judgment debt for debtor's default under construction contract was nondischargeable.
Procedural posture
After defendant debtor defaulted on a construction contract for renovation of plaintiffs' home and filed chapter 7, plaintiffs sued for a determination of nondischargeability per 11 U.S.C.S. § 523 and /or a denial of discharge per 11 U.S.C.S. § 727. One issue was whether the post-contract lapse of debtor's contractor's license issued per the New Mexico Construction Industries Licensing Act, N.M. Stat. Ann. § 60-13-1 et seq., affected the outcome.
