Reagan v. Lynch

In Reagan v. Lynch, 241 Ga. App. 642, 643-644 (524 S.E.2d 510) (1999), the Court applied judicial estoppel to the plaintiff's claims after he failed to list such claims in his Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, despite the fact that the plaintiff had informed the bankruptcy trustee of such claims as evidenced by the trustee's affidavit in the record. The Court determined that "informing the bankruptcy trustee is not notice to the court or the creditors in the bankruptcy action." 241 Ga. App. at 645.
