(6th Cir. B.A.P. Mar. 28, 2016)
The Sixth Circuit B.A.P. affirms the bankruptcy court's order dismissing the plaintiffs' nondischargeability complaint. The plaintiffs had suffered a loss when they purchased a condominium unit and hired a builder to complete its construction. The builder accepted funds but failed to complete the work. Each of the plaintiffs' claims under 11 U.S.C. § 523 were properly dismissed, principally because they failed to establish that the builder was the debtors' agent. Opinion below.
