in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If the older federal bankruptcy law conflicts with this subchapter, this subchapter wins. But if a part of this subchapter can't legally be enforced in some situation, the older bankruptcy law still applies fully in that situation instead.

This section resolves conflicts between this subchapter and an older law — section 272 of chapter 10 of the 1898 Act establishing a uniform federal bankruptcy system, and any laws that later amended or added to it. Wherever the two conflict, this subchapter controls. But there's an exception: if a provision of this subchapter cannot be validly enforced in some situation, the older bankruptcy-related law stays in full effect for that situation instead.

Wherever the application of the provisions of section 272 of chapter 10 of the Act entitled “An Act to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States”, approved July 1, 1898, and Acts amendatory thereof and supplementary thereto (U.S.C., title 11, sec. 672), conflicts with the application of the provisions of this subchapter, this subchapter shall prevail: Provided, That in any situation where the provisions of this subchapter cannot be validly enforced, the provisions of such other Acts shall remain in full force and effect.
