[CLBS] Section 727(a)8

[Bruce M. Perry]

Dear Listmates,

 

Section 727(a)8 provides that a debtor will not receive a discharge in a
case filed within 8 years of the filing of a prior case in which the debtor
was granted a discharge.  Does that mean the debts are forever
non-dischargeable?  For example, can the case be dismissed and refilled if
the 8 years has now run?  If the case is not dismissed but proceeds and is
closed with no discharge, can a new case then be filed with the same debts
listed and will a discharge then be available?  Does the pendency of the
bankruptcy case toll the running of the 8 year period?  Any guidance you can
provide will be appreciated.  Thanks.
