Sampayo v. Bank of Nova Scotia

No. 90

Submitted April 10, 1941
Decided May 12, 1941
313 U.S. 270

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT

Syllabus

The status of "farmer" for the purpose of proceedings under § 75 of the Bankruptcy Act, is determined by the definition of that term in § 75(r), not by the definition in § 1(17), which relate to other sections. Pp. 271, 274.

This results not only from the language of § 75(r), but also from the legislative history.

109 F.2d 743, 750, reversed.

Certiorari, 311 U.S. 623, to review the affirmance of an order of the District Court which dismissed a proceeding under § 75 of the Bankruptcy Act on the ground that the petitioner was not a "farmer."
