Zanders v. Armstrong Wood Prods.

Ruling
Chapter 13 debtor's wrongful termination action that was not disclosed in prior chapter 7 case remained property of the chapter 7 estate.
Procedural posture

Plaintiff former employee filed an action against defendant former employer alleging that the employer violated public policy when it terminated him in retaliation for his pursuit of workers' compensation benefits. The employer moved for summary judgment, arguing that the employee, who had filed for bankruptcy after his termination, lacked standing to pursue the claim because it belonged to the bankruptcy trustees under 11 U.S.C.S. § 541(a)(1).
