Terms Used In N.Y. Debtor and Creditor Law 68

  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

Where the insolvent’s discharge is opposed, the court may direct the special proceeding to be placed upon the calendar for trial. In that case, the parties must appear, and the proceedings are the same, as in an action, except as otherwise prescribed in this article; and costs, as in an action, except for proceedings before notice of trial, may be awarded to either party, in the discretion of the court.
