PREFERENCE
(bouvier) | PREFERENCE. The paying or securing to one or more of his creditors, by an
insolvent debtor, the whole or a part of their claim, to the exclusion of
the rest. By preference is also meant the right which a creditor has
acquired over others to be paid first out of the assets of his debtor, as,
when a creditor has obtained a judgment against his debtor which binds the
latter's land, he has a preference.
2. Voluntary preferences are forbidden by the insolvent laws of some of
the states, and are void, when made in a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors. Vide Insolvent; Priority.
