Counselling Consumer Debtors Under Canada's Bankruptcy And Insolvency Act, Ruth E. Berry, Sue L. T. Mcgregor

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Credit counselling is one mechanism that can assist consumers in paying back debts without resorting to bankruptcy, thereby preventing repeat bankruptcies and heavy debt loads in the future. Canada passed a major milestone in 1992, becoming the first country to make financial counselling mandatory prior to the granting of an unconditional discharge from personal bankruptcy. This article describes the history of the policy analysis involved in making consumer …

Islamic And American Constitutional Law: Borrowing Possibilities Or A History Of Borrowing?, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri

Law Faculty Publications

Islam is commonly viewed in the West as being incompatible with democracy. It is also viewed as an "Oriental" religion that has spawned violence and encouraged human rights violations. Because of the historical interaction between the West and Islam, the United States has recently been supporting efforts to export its democratic principles and human rights values to Muslim countries. In this context, the question of constitutional borrowing gains special significance.

Bankrupts are not drawn solely from low status occupations, but neither are they drawn significantly from the highest status occupations. The major reasons for declaring bankruptcy are adverse employment changes and business failure. There has been a large rise in the number of women declaring bankruptcy since earlier studies in …
