430. Formal defect not to invalidate proceedings or acts
Feedback & supportNo proceedings in bankruptcy are invalidated by any formal defect or by any irregularity, unless the Court before which an objection is made to the proceedings is of the opinion that substantial injustice has been caused by the defect or irregularity and that the injustice cannot be remedied by any order of the Court.
