bankruptcy law

Bankruptcy law originated in England in 1952. It is a state filed to the courts for legal declaration of financial inability of a debtor to pay what is owed to its creditors. Its conception was originally intended to assist the creditors in recouping at least portions of the amount of monies owed to them. But over the last few decades has really become more of a benefit and means to an end for the debtors instead.

Bankruptcy law allows for debtors to become clear of most or all of the debts that they owe. There are now ways to even specify which debts will get cleared, allowing the debtor to not to have to liquidate all assets to get declared bankrupt.

You'll find bloggers talking about bankruptcy law at sites like The Legal Blotter and Bankruptcy Network.
