Chattanooga bankruptcy attorney Tom Ray filed a lawsuit today on behalf of Bernard Francis Schultz and Elizabeth Mary Sabatine naming U.S. Attorney General Roberto Gonzales and U.S. Trustee Richard Clippard as defendants. The lawsuit requests a permanent injunction be issued to stop the enforcement of the new bankruptcy law.
Tom Ray said this lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of the reformed U.S. bankruptcy law that went into effect October 2005. Ray contends the "means test" is discriminatory since it is calculated based on median income levels which vary between the states.
