Des Faillites

Commercial Law
Titre IV: Des Faillites et Banqueroutes (On Bankruptcies and Fraudulent Bankruptcies)
Chapitre I: Des Faillites (On Bankruptcies)

La faillite est la cession de payement provenant du malheur, et ne pouvant être attribuée à autres causes.

Life lesson: Bankruptcy is misfortune, not crime — it's when you can't pay because fate turned against you.
Notes: Bankruptcy definition: cessation of payment caused by misfortune (malheur), not attributable to other causes. Distinguished from banqueroute (fraudulent bankruptcy). Sympathetic framing.
