What is the primary purpose of the laws of Bankruptcy?

Answer:
The primary purpose of the laws of Bankruptcy are: (1) to give an honest debtor a "fresh start" in life by relieving the debtor of most debts, and (2) to repay creditors in an orderly manner to the extent that the debtor has property available for payment.

Bankruptcy allows the debtor to resolve his debts through the division of his assets among his creditors. Additionally the declaration of bankruptcy allows debtors to be discharged of most of the financial obligations, after their assets are distributed, even if their debts have not been paid in full. During the pendency of a bankruptcy proceeding, the "Debtor" is protected from extra-Bankruptcy action by creditors by a legally imposed "stay."
