Eighty-Sixth Congress, Session II · Approved July 14, 1960
Clarifies the time for review of referees’ orders. Under the new section 39c a person aggrieved by a referee’s order must file a petition for review within ten days after entry, or within such extended time as the court allows on a petition filed within the ten-day period, and serve it on the adverse parties represented at the hearing; absent a timely petition the order becomes final. The court may suspend enforcement of the order on terms protecting all parties in interest.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That subdivision c of section 39 of the Bankruptcy Act (11 U.S.C. 67c) is amended to read as follows:
“c. A person aggrieved by an order of a referee may, within ten days after the entry thereof or within such extended time as the court upon petition filed within such ten-day period may for cause shown allow, file with the referee a petition for review of such order by a judge and serve a copy of such petition upon the adverse parties who were represented at the hearing. Such petition shall set forth the order complained of and the alleged errors in respect thereto. Unless the person aggrieved shall petition for review of such order within such ten-day period, or any extension thereof, the order of the referee shall become final. Upon application of any party in interest, the execution or enforcement of the order complained of may be suspended by the court upon such terms as will protect the rights of all parties in interest.”
