Lawsuits arising out of, or related to bankruptcy cases are a
separate case, within a case. These special adversary proceedings are initiated by filing
a complaint with the court to resolve both federal and state law issues. In general, an adversary
proceeding is a separate proceeding outside of the administration of
the estate, and constitutes a separate cause of action pursued to resolve a specific
legal issues in a formal trial setting. Most typical consumer cases
do not generate adversary proceedings, which can become quite
expensive because of attorneys necessary in connection with formal
litigation.
