Publisher's Synopsis
An overview of U.S. bankruptcy law and practices
The structure of bankruptcy courts changed in the United States during the 1980s. Understanding Bankruptcy in the U.S.: A Handbook of Law and Practice examines these changes and highlights the main U.S. bankruptcy code provisions. The book outlines the problems often faced by creditors who are part of bankruptcy proceedings. Though a range of factors are addressed by the author, a focus is placed on issues such as the property of the estate, the automatic stay, avoiding powers, and business reorganization.
