Adversary Proceeding

A separate lawsuit within a bankruptcy case.  It can be brought by many different parties to the bankruptcy case to either bring money or property into the case, to vindicate various rights, or to force a party to do something required or related to the bankruptcy proceeding.  A separate filing fee is often charged, although waived or deferred under certain circumstances.
