Order of Relief is?

• A. An order to dismiss the case.
• B. A permission to pursue the debt.
• C. A stay of proceedings.
• D. An order granted by the Bankruptcy Court that allows a creditor to pursue the debt.

Answer: (D)

The Order of Relief is the bankruptcy court’s grant of relief to the debtor, which immediately brings the bankruptcy case into motion and triggers the automatic stay. This stay stops most collection actions and lawsuits against the debtor while the case is being processed, giving the debtor breathing room to reorganize or liquidate assets under the bankruptcy framework. So, the description that best fits is a stay of proceedings. The other ideas don’t fit because the order is not about dismissing the case, not about letting creditors pursue the debt, and not simply giving permission to pursue the debt; its main effect is to halt proceedings against the debtor.
