Dismissed bankruptcy term.

Dismissed bankruptcy term.

• A. The case continues to trial
• B. The debtor is immediately discharged
• C. The case is stayed
• D. The bankruptcy case is rejected or the debtor withdraws

Answer: (D)

Dismissal means ending the bankruptcy case before a discharge is issued. It can happen if the debtor withdraws the filing or the court rejects the case for procedural reasons. When a case is dismissed, there’s no discharge and the case is closed, returning the debtor to the pre-bankruptcy status for creditor actions. The other terms describe different outcomes: continuing to trial pertains to an ongoing adversary proceeding rather than closing the case; a discharge is the final benefit granted only after completing the bankruptcy process; and the automatic stay is the temporary protection that exists during the case, not the end state.
