Legislative History

(P.A. 91-297, S. 8.) Plain language of section demonstrates that Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act was enacted specifically to expand range of a creditor's remedies beyond the common-law property and proceeds rule; section does not vest court with unfettered discretion to award damages to creditors who have failed to avail themselves of all the protections afforded under the act. 266 C. 1. Cited. 46 CA 199. Trial court's order of relief allowing plaintiff to attach defendants' property and levy execution thereon was well within court's authority to grant under section after finding of liability for a fraudulent transfer. 201 CA 774.
