A Not So Happy Christmas for a Law Firm Violating the Discharge Injunction ($27,000 worth of coal) - 9th Cir. BAP Published

The bankruptcy court held appellants Rediger Investment Corporation (“Rediger”) and its counsel, the Duringer Law Group, PLC (“Duringer Firm” and, jointly, the “Appellants”) in civil

contempt under 11 U.S.C. § 105(a) for violation of the 

automatic stay. As a result, it awarded sanctions against the Appellants, jointly and severally, in the amount of $23,072.09.  The BAP AFFIRMED.

 

Quite frankly, bad facts create bad results....this is a case which should have settled.  It is worth a read to understand the 105 contempt vs. 362.
