Bankruptcy is the status of a …………. (боржника) who has been declared by judicial process to be unable to pay his debts. Although sometimes used indiscriminately to mean insolvency, the terms have distinct legal ………….. (визначення). Insolvency, as used in most …………. (юридичних) systems, indicates the inability ………… (сплачувати борги). Bankruptcy, on the other hand, results from a legal adjudication on that the debtor ……………….. (подав клопотання) or that creditors have filed a petition against him. Bankruptcy laws were enacted ………….. (забезпечити) and govern an orderly and equitable liquidation of the estates of insolvent debtors. This purpose has remained an important aim of …………….. (законодавства про банкрутство) since the Middle Ages. Because in the past bankruptcy was coupled with ……………… (втратою громадянських прав) and imposition of ……… (стягнень) upon fraudulent debtors, the designation bankrupt came to be associated with …………… (нечесністю), casting a stigma on persons who were declared bankrupts. Eventually, however, bankruptcy legislation was extended to provide ……………. (процедури) for the adjustment of debts so as …………… (уникнути ліквідації) and for rehabilitation of insolvent debtors. Modern bankruptcy laws, therefore, include detailed …………. (положення) for preventive compositions, arrangements, or corporate reorganizations of various types. In fact ……….. (порятунок) of an enterprise in financial difficulties has become the principal focus of bankruptcy legislation with particular concern for maintenance of employment opportunities and the …………. (захист) of members of the labour force.

Since bankruptcy laws aim at the liquidation or rehabilitation of insolvent estates, bankruptcy proceedings involve all nonexempt assets of the debtor, and all creditors entitled to share in the proceeds of the liquidation or in the adjustment of their claims are called ………. (приймати участь). Accordingly, bankruptcy proceedings are viewed as general or universal collection procedures as distinguished from individual collection remedies available to particular creditors for the enforcement of their ………….. (вимог).
