ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

US insolvency law

Okay kiddo, let me explain insolvency law to you! Insolvency law is like a special set of rules that helps people and companies who are not able to pay their debts.

When someone owes a lot of money and they can't afford to pay it back, they may declare bankruptcy. This means that they cannot pay their bills, and they need help from a special court that deals with bankruptcy cases.

In the US, this court is called the Bankruptcy Court. The court helps people and companies figure out a plan to pay off their debts or to get rid of them. The court also helps make sure that the people and companies who are owed money get paid back as much as possible.

One thing that's really cool about insolvency law is that it protects people and companies from being completely destroyed by debt. By following the rules of insolvency law, people and companies can often get a fresh start and be able to pay their bills moving forward.

I hope that helps you understand insolvency law a bit more, kiddo!
