New Bankruptcy Law Bill Aims Stringent Discharge Rules
Washington March 22 Representative Ray of New York, chair of the house judiciary committee, introduces a bill to amend the bankruptcy law. Major changes add six discharge objections including false statements, preferences, fraudulent transfers, gambling contributed bankruptcy, prior discharge within six years, and refusing to answer court questions. The measure also lets mercantile corporations be adjudged voluntary bankrupts with stockholder consent and permits voluntary receivership under state law. It shortens default notice from twenty five to ten days and requires brief public service. The bill also makes the wife a competent witness irrespective of state law.
