Contested Matters vs. Adversary Proceedings

The way we handle your case and litigate a dispute depends on the type of issue you face. In bankruptcy, you may experience two different types of disputes: contested matters and adversary proceedings.

A contested matter is often a motion or objection filed during the bankruptcy case, and the judge typically resolves the issue in a hearing. Common examples of contested matters include reopening a bankruptcy case, modifying a Chapter 13 repayment plan, objecting to a creditor’s proof of claim, or adjusting an automatic stay.

An adversary proceeding functions as a separate lawsuit, often resulting from an escalated contested matter. As with civil lawsuits, a bankruptcy adversary proceeding involves a dispute between a plaintiff and a defendant. It requires a formal discovery process, after which a judge and/or jury will settle the matter in court. Bankruptcy adversary proceedings often involve lien interests, discharge objections, and injunctions.

If the litigation process does not result in a favorable outcome, we may be able to appeal the decision.
