The Warners paid the Archers $200,000 and executed a promissory note for the remaining $100,000. After the Warners failed to make the first payment on the $100,000 promissory note, the Archers sued for the payment in state court. The Warners then filed for bankruptcy of the Bankruptcy Code.

What are the arguments that the debt is dischargeable in bankruptcy?b. What are the arguments that the debt is not dischargeable in…

The Penn Central Railroad has not paid local taxes since 1969, under federal bankruptcy court protection.

Which alternative would you recommend to a municipality and why
