Discuss the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings?

Accepted Answer

Under Chapter 11,firms have six months in which to present a plan of reorganization to the court.After that period elapses,creditors,employees,and others can file their plans of reorganization.One such plan might include immediately selling the assets of the business and paying creditors the amounts due.The court decides which plan provides the fairest treatment for all parties concerned.While in bankruptcy,creditors cannot demand payment of their claims.The court oversees the execution of the reorganization.When the court determines that the firm has executed the plan of reorganization successfully and appears to be a viable entity,the firm is released from bankruptcy.
A Chapter 7 filing entails an immediate sale,or liquidation,of the firm's assets and a distribution of the proceeds to the various claimants in the order of their priority.
