Yes. In a recent decision, a North Carolina Bankruptcy Court imposed a one (1) year bar on the debtor’s ability to refile their case. The court imposed this bar where the debtor had filed four (4) consecutive bare-bones bankruptcy cases in order to stop a foreclosure proceeding. The court noted that all of the “bare-bones” cases were dismissed and relied on the public policy concern of abusing the bankruptcy law.
