History: 1977 c. 449.
This chapter does not encroach upon the field occupied by the federal bankruptcy act merely because the chapter provides for a distribution, either voluntary or not, of assets of an insolvent corporation among its creditors. Gelatt v. DeDakis, 77 Wis. 2d 578, 254 N.W.2d 171 (1977).
