In being cognizant of Dale Alleman v. Brett J. Kitson, 341 Fed. Appx. 234 (7th Cir. 2009) for evaluating a fictitious bankruptcy case involving the following circumstance involving a debtor (Jacob) seeking to discharge the debt:  During Jacob’s bankruptcy proceeding, he was asked whether he had ever been sued. Jacob responded that he had not. However, does that apply even if the information that was lied about turned out to be irrelevant ?  In fact, Jacob had once been sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress after a rather embarrassing incident that Jacob would rather not discuss. Therefore, he lied about never having been sued. It turns out that Jacob’s referenced suit had been settled early in the case and the whole incident was many years ago and has no financial impact whatsoever on Jacob today. Jacob’s debts were discharged in bankruptcy after the proceeding.

In being mindful of the applicable codes, rules or regulations on this matter, can the creditors of the bankruptcy case or the trustee want the discharge to be revoked because of Jacob’s lie ?

Feel free to express yourself with as much relevant detail as possible.
