94 WEISHAAR, Jakob Friedrich. Bemerkungen über das
Verfügungsrecht eines Schuldners über sein Vermögen vor
Ausbruch des Konkursprozesses; aus Veranlassung eines Rechtsfalls
und einer darüber erschienenen Schrift. Heilbronn, Johann Daniel
Claß, 1803. £450
8vo, pp. 46 [2] blank; contemporary blue wrappers, lettered in ink.
First and only edition of this discussion of bankruptcy law, especially as
regards the financial rights of the debtor to his own property, before bankruptcy
proceedings have officially been initiated. With specific reference
to Gmelin’s work on bankruptcy law, Weishaar discusses the question
whether someone facing bankruptcy proceedings is still free to offer goods
in compensation to specific creditors, or whether all his assets are virtually
frozen and at the court’s disposal for fair distribution amongst all creditors.
Weishaar’s deliberations are caused by a specific case, which is briefly
outlined, and makes detailed and extensive reference to local legislation and
legal authorities.
