Charles Gabus Motors, Inc. v. Tirrell

by
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel affirmed the bankruptcy court's judgment denying debtor a discharge of his debts. The panel held that the bankruptcy court's finding that debtor failed to make timely installment payments was based on his procrastination, rather than the inclement weather, was not clearly erroneous; debtor's argument under Article 2 of Iowa's uniform commercial code failed because the parties' agreement was not subject to it; even if the parties' agreement were subject to Article 2, the settlement agreement's default provision was not a liquidated damages clause; and the panel rejected debtor's remaining issues that were not raised before the bankruptcy court.
