The law which sets out the rules as to
whether or not furniture can be retained by you in a bankruptcy
is found in section 283 of the Insolvency Act. (The same section
that deals with "your car")
To avoid you having to click back through
the web site section 283 is repeated here:
" 283 - (1) Subject as follows,

of Parts comprises-
(a) all property belonging to or vested
