On the Official Unsecured Creditors’ Committee’s objection to the claim of Matthew Spiegel, held: Matthew Spiegel as the claimant failed to satisfy his burden of entitlement to a general unsecured claim of $475,000.00 from the debtor’s (his father) estate. At the evidentiary hearing, Matthew Spiegel did not demonstrate an express contract, contract implied in fact or contract implied in law existed and no other equitable ground was applicable to support an obligation to repay the amount allegedly loaned to the debtor prepetition. For these reasons, the Committee’s objection is SUSTAINED.
