Quadruple Filers

posted by John Pottow

I thought in light of the recent long weekend (by which I mean Canada Day), readers with an interest in international matters might enjoy this article from some friends at a respected Canadian law firm on Mr. Thomas Bouvin, who found himself recently filing for his fourth bankruptcy.   Perhaps my homeland needs BAPCPA to settle out these abusive debtors?  After all, with a colorful anecdote like this, what further data would one need to justify legislative intervention?

Bankr-L

  • As a public service, the University of Illinois College of Law operates Bankr-L, an e-mail list on which bankruptcy professionals can exchange information. Bankr-L is administered by one of the Credit Slips bloggers, Professor Robert M. Lawless of the University of Illinois. Although Bankr-L is a free service, membership is limited only to persons with a professional connection to the bankruptcy field (e.g., lawyer, accountant, academic, judge). To request a subscription on Bankr-L, click on this link and then click on the link for "Join or leave the list." After completing the information there, please also send an e-mail to Professor Lawless (rlawless-at-law-dot-uiuc-dot-edu) with a short description of your professional connection to bankruptcy. A link to a URL with a professional bio or other identifying information would be great.
