Waggaman Bankruptcy Hearing Proceeds in Equity Court

Hearings in the Waggaman bankruptcy case continue before Justice Anderson as banks seek adjudication. Attorney Darlington may propose bankruptcy under a suit with no question of the act of bankruptcy, to avoid appealing over the Catholic University deed of trust which is treated as a possible preference. A new suit seeks removal of Waggaman as trustee on a deed of trust tied to a $1,000 investment and questionable use of funds.
