The student should discuss voidable preferences in the context of the debtor paying one creditor (favoring) over another and give examples. Student should discuss fraudulent conveyances in the context of suspicious transfers of property by the debtor a year or two (depending on whether actual fraud or constructive fraud is evident) prior to filing bankruptcy. Student should discuss the inequity suffered by creditors if these types of transfers are allowed. The Bankruptcy Code seeks fair treatment of creditors and debtors alike.
