Personal Insolvency Law - A Bite-Sized Update

Introduction

This short webinar will examine recent developments in the area of personal insolvency law, including the latest significant cases.

The webinar will focus primarily on recent cases in a range of areas, including the circumstances in which a trustee in bankruptcy ‘becomes aware’ of a bankrupt’s interest in a property for the purposes of the Insolvency Act 1986, s.283A(5) and whether a bankruptcy petition can be founded on a foreign judgment which has not been registered in England and Wales.

It will also consider the importance of a petitioning creditor giving notice to the debtor of any adjournment of a bankruptcy petition.

Furthermore, the webinar will look at what constitutes ‘a place of residence’ in England and Wales for the purposes of presentation of a bankruptcy petition pursuant to s.265(2)(b)(i) to found the court’s jurisdiction to make a bankruptcy order.

It will provide practical thoughts on these recent cases and how the subject matter may apply to attendees.
