    In a limited liability, if a company goes bankrupt, its creditors cannot seek the personal wealth of its stockholders for reimbursement. Only the money stockholders have initially invested in the business is at risk. For example, suppose John holds shares of Mike’s Auto Repair Shop, which is a limited liability company. John would still have a percentage of the vote on Mike’s management decisions, board elections, etc., but John would not be responsible for any of Mike’s outstanding unpaid liabilities because he would only lose the money in which he invested in Mike’s business.…

We as Americans take many privileges for granted. We want so much and will do the least amount of work to get it-and our government does the same.

    The term refers to a debtor that keeps possession and control of its assets while undergoing a reorganization under chapter 11, without the appointment of a case trustee. A debtor will remain a debtor in possession until the debtor's plan of reorganization is confirmed, the debtor's case is dismissed or converted to chapter 7, or a chapter 11 trustee is appointed.

    There are 395 articles in the Indian Constitution in total but the provisions of emergency are in a limited form. The Constitution, deals with a number of emergencies and financial emergency is one of them. “A state of emergency refers to a period of governance under an altered constitutional setup that can be proclaimed by the President of India, when he perceives grave threats to the nation from internal and external sources or from financial situations of crisis. Under the advice of the cabinet of ministers and using the powers vested in him largely by Part XVIII of the Constitution of India, the President can overrule many provisions of the constitution, which guarantee fundamental rights to the citizens of India and acts governing devolution of powers to the states which form the federation.” The President can declare three types of emergencies: National emergency, State emergency and Financial emergency. Till now Financial emergency has not been declared in India even once.Financial Emergency basically means that, when the President is satisfied that a situation has arisen whereby the financial stability or credit of India, or any part thereof, is threatened, he may by proclamation make a proclamation to that effect. financial emergency can be declared if and only if the President is fully satisfied about its need in the situation concerned. Also, it is not that this type of emergency has some speciality attached to it, rather the proclamation in this case also should be approved by Parliament as in the other two cases of emergency. During the financial emergency, "the executive authority of the Union shall extend to the giving of directions to any State to observe such canons of financial propriety as may be specified in the direction" or any other directions which the President may deem necessary for the purpose. Such directions may include those requiring the reduction of salaries and allowances of Government servants and even those of…

    Bankruptcy is a way for individuals or businesses to satisfy debts. There are four types of bankruptcy. There is Chapter 7 which is a complete liquidation for individuals. Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates assets that are not exempt and uses the proceeds to pay creditors. In this bankruptcy creditors may be paid in full or a percentage based on the assets that were available. There is Chapter 11 which is for a business. Chapter 11 allows a business to reorganize its operation and finances so that it can pay its creditors. Sometimes in Chapter 11 another entity may take over the original entity in the reorganization. Creditors are told to give the entity time to reorganize and pay the debts. Then, there is Chapter 13 which is reorganization for individuals. Chapter 13 gives individuals a chance to pay creditors over 3 to 5 years through a Bankruptcy Trustee. Most assets can be kept depending on what percentage of the debts will be paid. If the debtor is paying the creditors in full then they would be able to keep all of their assets. This is only available for debtors with verifiable disposable income. The last type is Chapter 12 which is for farmers and fishermen (LII / Legal Information Institute). After completion of whichever chapter used, the creditor gets a “fresh start”.…
