Description

This book is a detailed study of the debtor-creditor relationship, with particular attention to the position of the unsecured creditor. It deals with this relationship from the viewpoint of the remedies available to the creditor, the more positive aspect of the relationship: apart from the statutory device of bankruptcy, debtors’ rights are almost entirely negative in character . In general it is only the creditors who have rights; debtors have the corresponding responsibilities. In these times of "credit-existence" this account is an important source of information for those in the field of law, economy, politics, and business.
