Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of public records from 150ā"1761 that document the rise and fall of the practice of preserving debtors' rights and property through the mechanism of declaring bankruptcy by Act of Parliament, and its social and economic impact on England. It reveals the authorās thesis that the laws designed to protect debtors were often used to their detriment, benefiting instead, creditors who could expertly exploit the legal loopholes. The book traces the increasing number of bankruptcies in the 18th century and the efforts made by Parliament to end abuse of the bankruptcy laws, including the establishment of a commission in 1732, which ultimately led to the Bankruptcy Act of 1761, a landmark piece of legislation that offered both protection for debtors and more effective oversight of the bankruptcy process.
