Holland v. Anthony L. Barney

Summary

The court reversed summary judgment that awarded the respondent title to the property and imposed a constructive trust. It held that prior bankruptcy orders precluded relitigation of the constructive-trust, quiet-title, and certain fraudulent-transfer theories, but required enforcement of the bankruptcy court's equitable lien because that lien survived the property's transfer during divorce proceedings. The court remanded because factual disputes remained concerning payments credited against the lien and the current value of the property and the debtor's share. No separate opinions were filed.
