debtor and creditor relation

debtor and creditor relation
The relationship which exists between two persons when one of them, the debtor, owes money to the other, the creditor. Kansas City, St. L. & C. R. Co. v Alton R. Co. (CA7 Ill) 124 F2d 780. The relationship of debtor and creditor arises in tort cases the moment the cause of action accrued, within the meaning of a statute relating to conveyances fraudulent as to "creditors," so as to entitle one securing a judgment against the grantor to have set aside a fraudulent conveyance executed pending the action. Hansen v Cramer, 39 Cal 2d 321, 245 P2d 1059, 30 ALR2d 1204.
