Bankruptcy & Article 9: 2021 Statutory Supplement

Bankruptcy and Article 9: 2021 Statutory Supplement is offered in two versions. Both are smaller, lighter, and more portable than competing Supplements. Each version includes: UCC Article 1, UCC Article 9, key excerpts from UCC Article 2 and UCC Article 8, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and Anti-Theft Act, Bankruptcy Code, selections from the Bankruptcy Rules Title 18 and Title 28 of the United States Code, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Federal Tax Lien Act.

This year's Supplements contain numerous amendments to the Bankruptcy Code. They are from the COVID-19 Bankruptcy Relief Extension Act of 2021, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, and the Bankruptcy Administrative Improvement Act of 2020. The Supplement also contains new UCC comments on protected series and the effect of bad faith purchase at an Article 9 sale. It also contains minor amendments to the Bankruptcy Rules and the bankruptcy related provisions of Title 28.

In the course of a career, the number of state and federal statutes that a serious practitioner of commercial law would likely consult must surely reach into the hundreds. Not many practitioners would try to carry such statutes around, either in books or in their heads. But a few statutes are used over and over. Together, those few form the core of two basic subjects in commercial law, secured transactions and bankruptcy. Those core statutes are reproduced in this slender volume.
