Not that I would normally (openly) dispute your good offices, and the excellent
illumination that you continually provide here on Groklaw. But, I just wonder
if the fact that the bankruptcy in question was incited by Hogan's desire to use
the homestead law, or some such, to avoid the $25,000 he owed to Seagate. This
wondering led me to
http://www.toughtimeslawyer.com/adversary-proceedings-bankruptcy-lawsuit/ which
discusses similar circumstances to the Hogan bankruptcy. Hence, while I agree
that to the average man in the street, bankruptcy is not considered a lawsuit,
but there are circumstances where it can involve a Bankruptcy Court and a Judge,
Defendant, Plaintiff, and witnesses, especially when reasonably large amounts of
money are at stake. YMMV.
As far as I know, one can't just declare bankruptcy, on has to be formally
'discharged' of one's debts, by a Court. N'est-ce pas?
