An introduction:
Bankruptcy is an official means of announcing that a person is no longer in a state to repay his debts. After one has announced himself bankrupt, his debts are cleared by the liquidation of his assets which is done under the supervision of an authorized officer. The amount or property then is judiciously divided among all the creditors. Thus an attempt is made to repay all the debts as far possible. The process of announcing bankruptcy should be in accordance to the Bankruptcy Law of U.K.
