Creditor’s Meeting
The creditor’s meeting has the right to vote on certain issues and provide the trustee with instructions.
Creditor’s Committee
The creditor’s meeting can elect a number of their members to form a special body, the Board of Creditors, that is charged with supervising the trustee or the private receiver making certain decisions as provided in the bankruptcy code.
Private receiver
The creditor’s meeting can elect a one or more members of it’s body as a private receiver. It can also appoint a law firm or an accountant as private receiver, to pursue and manage the various stages of the bankruptcy.
