A pre-conviction criminal restitution lien doesn't violate the automatic stay
Manage episode 313806152 series 3288514
In today’s (first!) episode, I walk you through a recent case in which an Arizona bankruptcy court ruled that a creditor doesn’t violate the automatic stay when a creditor pursues a pre-petition criminal restitution lien. In re Nash, 19-bk-11174 (Judge Ballinger, October 21, 2021).
In the episode I mentioned the Gruntz case in the Ninth Circuit which can be found at 202 F.3d 1074 (9th Cir. 2000).
