“Other creditors would have better equitable claims than do the [debtors]. Preference actions are designed to achieve ratable distributions among creditors. Several lenders in addition to the [creditor] filed claims in the Chapter 13 proceeding. These creditors might be entitled to protest the dismissal and refiling that denied them access to any share of the cash realized [from reinstatement of the creditor’s lien]_ As things stand, the only claimants to the funds are the [debtors] and the [creditor]. Between the two, the [creditor] has the better claim: the [debtors] borrowed money that they have yet to repay.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The Sinclairs do not want to dismiss the case with prejudice, pay all of their accrued debts, and then file a fresh bankruptcy action that could go forward from the date of refiling. They want, instead, to file a Chapter 12 case that would be administered as if it had been commenced in 1985. This is conversion by another name.”
