courts II he chooses to do so. He may bring
Justice court suits to harass the debtor.
but when the debtor on appeal takes an ad-
verse decision to an upper court his dis
charge in bankruptcy will free him from any
debts cancelled in that order.
In Chicago. where the Justice court pro-
cedure is notoriously bad in all such oppor-
tunites, tho Circuit. courts frequently have
issued permanent injunctions against these
loan sharks, forbidding justice court actions
against the debtor. On the showing to the
court that the debtor has been released in
bankruptcy proceedings. the order OF dis
charge Itself Is tho basis for the issuance
OF q permanent Injunction.
The fact that the United States bankruptcy
act does not contemplate tho protection OF
the man released under the bankruptcy pro-
ceeding beyond the certified copy of his dis
charge from his debts. makes possible the
hara.sments OF the loan shark until some
state courts writ Of injunction shall forbid.
II is no contempt OF the federal bankruptcy
court that a creditor the next morning after
the release of his debtor fles suit in court
to recover. Such suit hardly will be insti-
tuted in Circuit court. however.
