For example, an order of discharge does not release a bankrupt person from any debt arising from an award of damages by a court
in civil proceedings stemming from «bodily harm intentionally inflicted, or sexual assault»:
«matrimonial cases were different from ordinary

in that the binding effect of a settlement embodied
in a consent order
stems from the court's order and not from the prior agreement of the parties...
in family
proceedings there is always a duty of full and frank disclosure, whereas
in civil proceedings this is not universal».
