Conti v. Volper

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Conti v. Volper, 229 F.2d 317 (2d Cir. 1956)

Conti v. Volper

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Constance v. Harvey, 2 Cir., 1954, 215 F.2d 571, reluctantly followed by Judge Byers, may seem to reach an inequitable-result, but Section 70, sub. c, of the Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C.A. § 110, sub. c, provides: “The trustee, as to all property, whether or not coming into posses*318sion or control of the court, upon which a creditor of the bankrupt could have obtained a lien by legal or equitable proceedings at the date of bankruptcy, shall be deemed vested as of such date with all the rights, remedies, and powers of a creditor then holding a lien thereon by such proceedings, whether or not such a creditor actually exists”; and it is difficult to see how such plain language could be disregarded.

Affirmed.
