841 F.2d 804 (1988)

In the Matter of Kenneth WITTE, Debtor-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided March 18, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bruce Thiemann, Peoria, Ill., for debtor-appellant.

William E. Stewart, William E. Stewart Law Office, Kewanee, Ill., for appellee.

Before CUMMINGS, WOOD, and FLAUM, Circuit Judges.


FLAUM, Circuit Judge.

Kenneth Witte appeals from a judgment of the district court, reversing in part the bankruptcy court. The district court held that Witte remains liable on a judgment arising out of an installment land sales contract, notwithstanding the fact that the vendor opted to forfeit the contract and repossessed the property. This case raises an issue of first impression under Illinois law. We reverse.
