Fourth Circuit’s recent decision In re Cleary Packaging, LLC, 2022 WL 2032296 (4th Cir. June 7, 2022) holds that in certain Subchapter V cases the statutory exceptions to the bankruptcy discharge will apply to corporate debtors

 The Fourth Circuit’s recent decision In re Cleary Packaging, LLC, 2022 WL 2032296 (4th Cir. June 7, 2022) holds that in certain Subchapter V cases the statutory exceptions to the bankruptcy discharge will apply to corporate debtors. An article at National Review explains generally, in a traditional Chapter 11, exceptions to discharge for corporate debtors are more limited if the corporation is not liquidating. "Based on the Fourth Circuit’s decision in In re Cleary Packaging, LLC, Subchapter V includes broader exceptions to discharge for a debtor that cannot confirm a consensual plan, including claims against corporate debtors for certain types of fraud and other willful and malicious injuries."
