Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 180

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How does Shemitas kesafim cancel a debt, and which debts does it leave standing? Again and again the question is whether the money owed has become an actual loan that is due. After the prosbul and what it needs to work, the Kitzur turns to monetary disputes, compromise and beis din.

Key points

• The Kitzur exempts a debt from Shemitah when the loan contracts are handed to beis din to collect.
• A loan contract bought from a goy against a Jew is not cancelled by Shemitah, in the Kitzur.
• The Kitzur forbids evading payment to force a compromise, and requires the full amount before Heaven.
