Bankruptcy: Dischargeability of Debts Regarding Property Damage-Malice

     In a future blog, we will begin a multi-issue review of cases that address the dischargeability of debts regarding property damage-malice.
     Several cases illustrate well the dischargeability of debts involving property damage. In all cases, the trial and appellate courts are required to adhere to Bankruptcy Code §523(a)(6) which states that a debt causing willful and malicious injury to another entity is not exempt from discharge.
     If you have cases involving property damage that may fall within this code section, please let me know.
