1Opinion of the Court
Joseph G. Rosania, Jr., United States Bankruptcy Judge
For over two hundred years the concept of equality in treatment of creditors has been viewed as the most important principle of American bankruptcy law, rivaled only by the concept of a fresh start for honest but unfortunate debtors. Creditor equality was given a ringing endorsement in the influential 1807 case of Locke v. Winning , 3 Mass. 325 (Mass. 1807). The concept of recovery of preferential transfers was found in the 1841, 1867 and 1898 Bankruptcy Acts.
