### Saving as to “acts of bankruptcy”. 4 & 5 Geo. V., c. 47, s. 24. Vic., s. 24. 198.—(1.) If the trustee under a deed of arrangement, which either is expressed to be or is in fact for the benefit of the debtor’s creditors generally, serves in the prescribed manner on any creditor of the debtor notice in writing of the execution of the deed and of the filing of the affidavit certifying the creditors’ assents with an intimation that the creditor will not after the expiration of one month from the service of the notice be entitled to present a bankruptcy petition against the debtor founded on the execution of the deed or on any other act committed by the debtor in the course or for the purpose of the proceedings preliminary to the execution of the deed as an act of bankruptcy, that creditor shall not, after the expiration of that period, unless the deed becomes void, be entitled to present a bankruptcy petition against the debtor founded on the execution of the deed or any act so committed by the debtor as an act of bankruptcy. (2.) Where such a deed of arrangement has become void by virtue of this Part, the fact that a creditor has assented to the deed shall not disentitle him to present a bankruptcy petition founded on the execution of the deed of arrangement as an act of bankruptcy. (3.) Save as otherwise expressly provided in this Act, nothing in this Act shall give validity to any deed or instrument which by law is an act of bankruptcy or void or voidable.
