Exercise 26

Abbott and Deborah Estrin performed employment recruiting services for Twin City Fire Insurance Company (Twin City). Twin City filed suit against the Estrins in California, alleging conspiracy and fraud in their employment. The Estrins then filed under Chapter 7 in South Carolina, listing Twin City as a creditor. Twin City contacted the Estrins' attorney several times requesting settlement or lifting the stay long enough to transfer the California case to South Carolina, but the Estrins refused. Twin City moved in the South Carolina bankruptcy case to extend the deadline to object to discharge to allow it time to transfer its case. Was Twin Cities entitled to delay the Estrins' discharge?
