Bankruptcy Law – What is the “Bankruptcy Code”?
The set of federal laws that governs all bankruptcy cases in the United States is considered the Bankruptcy Code.
The Code is found in Title 11 of the United States Code and is divided into several Chapters.
The first three Chapters (1, 3 and 5) deal with the general bankruptcy rules and procedures.
The remaining Chapters (7, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 15) deal with specific types of bankruptcy proceedings.
Each Chapter has several Sections:
Chapter 1 General Provisions (Sections 101 112)
Chapter 3 Case Administration (Sections 301 366)
Chapter 5 Creditors, the Debtor and the Estate (Sections 501 562)
