Bankruptcy Code 11 USC 523(a)(3)(A)

By Los Angeles Bankruptcy Attorney on August 26, 2021

There is a split in case law, on how courts read Bankruptcy Code 11 USC 523(a)(3)(A) (which is about nondischargeability of late filed claims, where creditor did not have knowledge or notice of existence of bankruptcy case in time to file a proof of claim before the deadline set by the Bankruptcy Court for filing proofs of claim), should be read in conjunction with 11 USC 726(a)(2)(C) (which is about paying late filed claims under some circumstances). A Bankruptcy Court decision from Florida, Creative Enterprises HK Ltd. v. Simmons (In re Simmons), ___BR___20-0081 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Aug. 24, 2021). discusses this split in the case law
