So what? It only applies if you do those things. Don't lie to get
the bankruptcy and you haven't falsely declared. Don't break the rules
on transfer of funds -- as set out in writing in the statute -- and
you haven't deceitfully contrived the bankruptcy to avoid debt.
Earlier in this thread it was implied that your private residence
is not seized to pay debts, so some folk move into a larger residence
to safeguard part of their capital against seizure. No doubt there
are rules how close before a bankruptcy, and to what maximum amount,
it can be done: if you read and stick to those rules then it is
lawful. If you exceed them then not.
I wonder about "staying economic litigation." I would have
thought you might be held liable for some civil wrong and the
plaintiff would then join the queue of creditors to get paid.
If a civil suit against a bankrupt is suspended,
does it get revived when they discharge their bankruptcy?
Certainly in England bankrupts lose standing to sue people in
economic matters. Curiously, they still have a reputation, and
can continue--or AFAIK bring--a suit for libel.
