| insolvency and/or bankruptcy (Insolvency is distinguished from bankruptcy in that bankruptcy denotes a particular legal status to be determined and declared by judicial decree. For an individual or a corporation to be declared bankrupt, certain additional requirements, such as committing an act of bankruptcy, for example, are necessary. Thus, insolvency, although an essential factor, is not the sole ingredient necessary in determining bankruptcy. Britannica) | |||
