The Bankruptcy petition for relief file by the the NRA was dismissed as lacking good faith. As a Bankruptcy practitioner I have come across the ‘good faith’ requirement a few times in the past to say the least.

The Bankruptcy Code is meant to relieve Debtors of their financial strain and not to be misused by ‘bad faith’ actors seeking to shield themselves when no legitimate reason to do so exists.
