Treatment Of Income Tax Refunds In Bankruptcy After Lines V. Frederick, Michigan Law Review Dec 1973

Treatment Of Income Tax Refunds In Bankruptcy After Lines V. Frederick, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Under section 70a(5) of the Bankruptcy Act, the bankruptcy trustee is entitled to take the debtor's interest in "property" that "prior to the filing of the petition [the debtor] could by any means have transferred or which might have been levied upon and sold under judicial process against him."
