Bankruptcy law can be a complex area of law and can involve litigation. It is important to understand the types of litigation that can occur during bankruptcy.
In a bankruptcy, creditors have the right to file a lawsuit asking that their particular debt not be discharged or that the debtor’s bankruptcy be denied. The bankruptcy trustee also has the right to sue the debtor if the trustee suspects that there was fraud in the bankruptcy petition. Both of these are known as adversary proceedings.
