In re Schaffer
(DBN Subscription Required) |
5th Cir. |
In bankruptcy proceedings arising after a civil administrative board sustained charges against debtor-practicing dentist, revoking his dental license and assessing the costs of the proceeding, bankruptcy court's judgment holding the costs to be nondischargeable is reversed where the district court erred in holding that the costs assessed by the board were a "fine, penalty, or forfeiture" and were not "actual compensation for pecuniary loss" under 11 U.S.C. section 523(a)(7). |
