There
will be a brief
Banckruptcy Section business meeting prior to the CLE.
11 USC § 523(a)(6) involves the exception to
discharge for intentional acts. The code section has a colorful history
involving medical malpractice, gunshots and all other types of mayhem. Breach of
contract has seldom been considered to be an intentional act as breach of
contract can be found without a finding of intent. However, there has been a
groundswell of cases throughout the country that have found, on various
theories, that breach of contract claims can be exempt from discharge under §
523(a)(6). The presentation will present the history of Section 523(a)(6)
and examine how the ambiguity that still exists in how that statute is
interpreted has contributed to an increased willingness of bankruptcy judges to
except certain contract claims from discharge.
