Court Costs
2008-11-18
Debts that survive a bankruptcy are outlined in Section 178 of the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act. Whether or not your court costs are going to fall within this Section is going to depend on what the costs relate to. The costs that I can see being reviewed would be: -court fines. Are these costs applicable to some type of fine from the court? -is it any type of restitution order? -fraud or misappropriation of assets. Is there any reference to this in the judgment? But if they are simply costs resulting from a civil claim that you lost (a lawsuit for money owed), then yes…..they can be included in a bankruptcy. If you would like to contact me with the specifics of your court costs, I can be reached at the contact info below.
