Motion to Dismiss Bankruptcy Case

A Motion to Dismiss Bankruptcy Case is a legal document filed by a creditor, the bankruptcy trustee, or other interested party in a bankruptcy case to request that the court dismiss the case for cause. The motion may argue that the debtor is not eligible for bankruptcy relief, that the debtor has failed to comply with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code or court orders, or that the debtor has filed the case in bad faith. If the court grants the motion, the bankruptcy case will be dismissed and the debtor will no longer be protected by the automatic stay. The debtor may be barred from filing another bankruptcy case for a certain period of time, and creditors may resume collection actions against the debtor and their property.
