Re: my brother-n-law lied when he filed bankruptcy

Unless she suffered damages as a result of his lies in the bankruptcy proceeding, I'm not sure what gain she would have by bringing that to the attention of the bankruptcy court.

If she does decide to report him, she would need to call the clerk of the bankruptcy court where the case was handled, and they can tell her how to proceed.

Hope this helps.
