John: Thank you for your response.
Yes. There is a lack of a judgment in an adversary proceeding
under 523 to make the debt nondischargeable, and the stipulated judgment did not admit to language which could support nondischargeability under 523a2, 4, or 6.

I generally agree with David, but I have further questions before Ithe same conclusion.
I am assuming that there is a lack of a judgment in an adversary proceeding
under 523 to make the debt nondischargeable, correct? And I assume that the
stipulated judgment did not admit to language which could support
nondischargeability under 523a2, 4, or 6, correct? (the second question is
actually superfluous the creditor needs the 523 judgment, not just the
language in the state court judgment, to enforce the debt).

Re: [cdcbaa] Discharge after superior court settlement agreement
I generally agree with David, but I have further questions before I’d reach the same conclusion.
I am assuming that there is a lack of a judgment in an adversary proceeding under 523 to make the debt nondischargeable, correct? And I assume that the stipulated judgment did not admit to language which could support nondischargeability under 523a2, 4, or 6, correct? (the second question is actually superfluous – the creditor needs the 523 judgment, not just the language in the state court judgment, to enforce the debt).

David: I forgot to mention that the settlement agreement included a language stating that the parties agree that the debt is not dischargeable in BK. Also that the debtor's bankruptcy attorney signed off on the settlement agreement. Would that change your responses?

Subject: [cdcbaa] Discharge after superior court settlement agreement
Hi Everyone,
Debtor was sued as defendant in the Superior Court
Prior to trial, debtor filed a Chapter 7 Petition
Plaintiff filed and was granted a relief from stay to continue the
litigation in the superior court.
Debtor then entered into a settlement agreement and stipulated judgment in
the Superior Court. (No LBR 4008-1 reaffirmation agreement form was filed
with the bankruptcy court)
Debtor is then granted a Discharge by the bankruptcy court.
Plaintiff then files a Motion to Enforce the settlement agreement in the
superior court.
My questions are:
1. Is Plaintiff's conduct a violation of the discharge and contempt of
the BK Court's injunction order (the discharge)?
2. If the Superior Court grants the Motion to Enforce the settlement
agreement, may the debtor still be able to bring a Motion for Contempt in
the BK Court?
