Heard: October 15, 2009
Written Decision: November 17, 2009
Subject: Discharge from Bankruptcy
A former university student borrowed from a bank over $50,000 on a student line of credit.
Summary: He left his studies because of health problems, which he claims prevent him from working. The bank submitted that he could not prove that he should not be justly held responsible for his debts and asked that he be required to make a substantial payment as a condition of discharge.
Result: Court held that, considering his health in the widest sense, he could not justly be held responsible. He was granted an absolute discharge.
