Courts are split on whether having nondischargeable debts gives an individual chapter 7 debtor standing to object to claims.

On an upcoming certified appeal, the Eleventh Circuit can decide whether violating a PACA trust is a ‘defalcation while acting in a fiduciary capacity’ that makes a debt nondischargeable.
