Chapter:
7
Date of Decision:
July 13, 2004
Issue:
Whether the clerk’s entry of default should be vacated and whether Defendant County should be allowed to file a late answer to Debtors’ § 523(a)(3) complaint?
Ruling:
The Clerk’s entry of default was allowed to stand. Defendant County, however, was allowed to file a late answer but only to the extent it raised justiciable issues under § 523(a)(3). The Complaint did not address the County’s lien, so the answer should not address that issue.
