Fraudulent Preference

Under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, this is the preferring by a debtor of one or more creditors over others by the payment to those creditors of some extraordinary amounts of money. Under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, the Trustee can, under certain circumstances, set aside fraudulent preferences up to three months prior to the date of bankruptcy in the case of arm's length parties and one year in the case of non-arm's length parties.
