About this program

On February 22, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its unanimous opinion in Bartenwerfer v. Buckley, 598 U. S. ____ (2023) (honest debtor/business partner/wife could not discharge claim arising from fraud of dishonest partner/husband under 11 U.S.C. ß523(a)(2)(A), even though the debtor did now know of the partner's fraud). Hear from one of the lawyers (Iain Macdonald of San Francisco) who represented Mrs. Bartenwerfer at the U.S. Supreme Court. The Hon. Barry Russell and J. Scott Bovitz will provide their own views on the future of litigation under 11 U.S.C. ß523(a)(2)(A). What did the opinion resolve? What issues remain?
