Definition
- Consumer bankruptcy is a term used for a court proceeding with the purpose of granting an individual a discharge of all or part of his or her prebankruptcy debt. Consumer bankruptcy has been the topic of a considerable amount of sociolegal work, especially in the United States, and the impact of this work goes in many respects far beyond the bankruptcy field.
