Date of Decision:
October 13, 1989
Issue:
Motion for terms against counsel for debtor.
Ruling:
(1) Counsel's failure to determine whether damages claimed against creditor bank were well grounded in fact and warranted by law was sanctionable under Rule 9011. (2) Counsel's claims concerning the validity of creditor's bank's liens were not objectively the product of a reasonable inquiry, nor well grounded in fact or warranted by law, thus contravening Rule 9011.
