Case Summary:
Forward Financial Bank brought an adversary proceeding seeking a denial of the Debtors’ discharge under several provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 727 or, alternatively, a finding that the debt owed to the bank was nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6). After a two-day trial and the submission of post-trial briefs, the court found that there was insufficient evidence to deny the Debtors’ discharge or render any portion of the debt nondischargeable. The Court entered judgment in favor of the Debtors and dismissed the adversary proceeding.
