discovery requests and setting hearings until the debtor fails to jump
through a hoop properly, and then ask the court to sanction the debtor
by a day in jail. This tactic is being opposed by the Illinois AG.
(Note: The reference to courts issuing warrants for debtors who fail
to make a court ordered payment by a specific date is a little
different. In that situation, the court has usually heard evidence
and made a finding that the debtor has specific funds or generally has
the ability to make a specific payment, and ordered the debtor to pay
a certain amount by a certain date. When the debtor fails to make
that payment, it is usually the case that the debtor really is just
openly flouting the court's order.)
