Bankruptcy

Re Ellison (A Bankrupt); Hicken (as Trustee in Bankruptcy of Ellison) v Ellison [2016] EWHC 2791 (Ch), [2016] All ER (D) 76 (Nov)

The Chancery Division granted the trustee in bankruptcy’s application for the committal of the respondent bankrupt for breach of financial disclosure orders. The court held that, on the facts, it could take the exceptional court of hearing the application in the respondent’s absence, and that the allegations of contempt had been established to the extent indicated. The application in respect of sentence was adjourned.
