Bankruptcy law changes eyed by lawmakers and critics
Referee in bankruptcy Albert Rabb discusses proposed amendments to the 1898 bankruptcy act. He notes calls for redefining insolvency, limiting debtors protections, expanding trustee powers, and repealing innocent preferences while warning changes could worsen the system without care.
