Informally, both an individual or a company can be described as bankrupt. In a strict legal sense, however, it can only be used to describe people, not companies in the UK. Administration is when a failing company is reorganized by an independent specialist with the aim of continuing some of its activities and avoiding liquidation (=a situation in which a company stops operating and its assets are sold to pay its debts). Receivership is when a company that does not have enough money to pay its debts is put under the control of a receiver (=someone who is chosen by a court of law to be in charge of a bankrupt company) who sells the company’s assets in order to pay creditors (=people or companies who are owed money) and closes the company. – In the US, bankrupt can be used as an informal or strict legal term to describe individuals or companies. The set of laws dealing with bankruptcy is the Bankruptcy Code. Two parts of the law that deal with the process by which companies officially become bankrupt are Chapter 11 and Chapter 7. Chapter 11 gives failing companies a period of time to reorganize, after which they must pay their creditors. Chapter 7 deals with the process of a bankrupt company going into liquidation. → act of bankruptcy → discharge from bankruptcy → involuntary bankruptcy → trustee in bankruptcy → voluntary bankruptcybank·rupt·cy nounChineseSyllable
