In re Khachikyan. 335 B.R. 121 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2005)
Nov 02, 2005OUTCOME: Bankruptcy case dismissal reversed
The question was whether the dismissal of a bankruptcy case pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 707(b) as a "substantial abuse" of chapter 7 was erroneous because the United States trustee did not prove there was ... a nexus between alleged credit card abuse that occurred seventeen months pre-bankruptcy and the filing of bankruptcy by one who is unable to fund a chapter 13 plan.
