United States Tenth Circuit

A debt based on a state court judgment for intentional fraud was dischargeable under Bankruptcy Code section 523(a)(6). Though he fraudulently misrepresented his insurance coverage to an injured employee, the employer-debtor did not "willful and maliciously" intend to cause the physical injury.
