1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Trustee’s objection was based on the false premise that [Debtor’s] case was “more simplistic” than the average Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Indeed, the Trustee’s own “bad faith” challenge to [Debtor’s] plan transformed the case from a routine Chapter 13 matter into a complicated proceeding. Given this added complexity, the reasoning of the Trustee’s objection was not sound.”
