Trade creditors have the power to involuntarily force a business debtor into bankruptcy. However, the requirements for an involuntary bankruptcy, contained in Section 303 of the Bankruptcy Code, create defenses that a prospective debtor could assert in its fight against the bankruptcy. Creditors considering joining an involuntary petition should tread very carefully; the potential upside might not be worth the risks. Petitioning creditors face the risk of a huge sanctions claim in the event the Bankruptcy Court dismisses their involuntary bankruptcy petition based upon their failure to comply with the requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 303.
