- Bankruptcy: Refers to statutes and judicial proceedings involving persons or businesses that cannot pay their debts and seek the assistance of the court in getting a fresh start. Under the protection of the bankruptcy court, debtors may discharge their debts, perhaps by paying a portion of each debt. Bankruptcy judges preside over these proceedings.
A discharge in bankruptcy shall be a valid defense to any suit brought upon a wage assignment executed by the bankrupt prior to the adjudication in bankruptcy; no assignment of wages shall be valid after three years from the date of its execution and shall be void after such period of three years.
