involuntary gap claim

Bankruptcy. A claim that accrues in the ordinary course of business after an involuntary bankruptcy petition has been filed but before the order for relief or the appointment of a trustee.

• The Bankruptcy Code gives priority to creditors with claims of this type to encourage creditors to continue dealing with a debtor until the debtor has a chance to challenge the involuntary petition. [Cases: Bankruptcy 2833. C.J.S. Bankruptcy § 240.]
