English Legal System: Bankruptcy Order

In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Bankruptcy Order : A court order that makes a debtor bankrupt. When the order is made, ownership of all the debtor’s property is transferred either to a court officer known as the *official receiver or to a trustee appointed by the creditors. It replaced both the former *receiving order and *adjudication order in bankruptcy proceedings.
