1. ““The troubling aspect of this case is that debtor’s counsel seems to believe that Bankruptcy Court is a legal playground where the debtor can indulge in an elaborate game of catch me if you can with her creditors. Such is not the case. Although the law grants a generous measure of relief to debtors, this benefit is not gratuitous. The law also imposes a measure of responsibility. As a member of the bar and an officer of the court, counsel especially should be aware of this fact. The game attempted in this case cannot be permitted. (Debtor’s motion) admits that the present Chapter 13 petition was filed in an attempt to stay a properly brought sheriff’s sale. By filing the new petition, the debtor sought to re-impose the stay of lien enforcement provided by Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The conduct of the debtor and her counsel cannot be condoned. It is a fraud upon the creditor and an affront to the integrity of the Court” In Re: Bystrek, 17 B.R. 894, 895-896 (Bankr.E.D.Pa., 1982).”
