“(b) A case may be reopened in the court in which such case was closed to administer assets, to accord relief to the debtor, or for other cause.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A debtor “may be prevented from [reopening to] amend ... her schedule only if her failure to include a creditor on the original schedule can be shown to have prejudiced ... [the creditor] in some way or to have been part of a scheme of fraud or intentional design.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Dr. Maddox [the creditor] has not lost any meaningful right that he would have enjoyed if he had been properly listed in the first place. The bankruptcy court specifically indicated that if assets from which a dividend could be paid should ever be discovered, Dr. Maddox would be entitled to participate in the dividend. If Dr. Maddox wants to contest dischargeability, he can do that. [Emphasis supplied] See In re Brown, 60 B.R. 983 (Bkrtcy.S.D.Ohio 1986); In re Daniels, 51 B.R. 142 (Bkrtcy.S.D.Ohio 1985).”
