Al-Mansoob v. Malloy, No. 11-1671 (6th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseAl-Mansoob filed a lawsuit concerning a traffic accident in July 2009. When he instituted Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings two months later, he did not list his claims against Malloy and Wilburn Archer Trucking, Inc. (Defendants), among his assets, but did list a suit against State Farm, arising out of the same accident. Upon learning of the omission, Defendants sought summary judgment, arguing that Al-Mansoob was judicially estopped from pursuing the claims. Relying on a Sixth Circuit case decided a few days before Al-Mansoob filed his response, the district court granted the motion. The Sixth Circuit reversed, reasoning that judicial estoppel should not apply to the trustee, who had been substituted as real party in interest, and that Al-Mansoob’s failure to disclose the case was inadvertent in any event.
