I have not seen the underlying briefs but apparently they did not layout well enough if/whether the omitted creditor had any notice in time to file a timely complaint. She did reopen which is administrative in nature. I believe you can file a complaint (for an unlisted creditor) without reopening -also noted in the tentative.

> Steve, I just did reopened a case for an omitted creditor to be able to file a 523(A0(2) fraud adversary proceeding with Judge Albert (the state court action is stayed). He granted it on that basis. I think I could have saved a step by just filing the adversary proceeding but I did not want to take a chance as the case was 8 years old. My problem now is an SOL issue to keep the adversary proceeding alive.

And there are cases that say for this type of action the bankruptcy court has exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing I know of says thats unnecessary with an omitted creditor.
