Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided October 19, 1995No. 94-2384PublishedCited by 131 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
BIRCH, Circuit Judge:
This appeal presents the first impression issue of what standard of reliance a creditor must satisfy under section 523(a)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code to prevent the discharge of a debt. The bankruptcy court held that a creditor’s reliance on the debtor’s misrepresentations must be reasonable. The court rejected the creditor’s claim that reasonable reliance was an overly stringent standard or, alternatively, that its reliance met the reasonable reliance standard. The district court summarily affirmed; we REVERSE and REMAND for further factfinding.
