I have decided that from now on I will not be taking any single persons thru bankruptcy in the North.
The attitude of the Judge is becoming impossible where singles are concerned.
It should still be ok where whole families relocate, but otherwise the attitude seems to be that she will not grant single men who have separated and moved north
Steve, on the 5/7/12 on this thread you mentioned that anywhere was better than London to file for bankruptcy as it won't be heard on the same day. Is that still the case? And if so how long do you have to wait for the next and final hearing? Thank you.
In relation to being single and bankruptcy, the problem proabably arrises where you are single, but have left a spouse behind. No problem if you both relocate, no problem if you are actually single, but if you have a spouse left behind with the kids, I could see that being a problem for judges. Might also apply to non married couples where the partners stays in the jointly owned home with the children of that couple. Judges aren't stupid.
Steve - is this only the case with NI? I guess that the rest of England is much easier because they get bankruptcy claims from all sorts of people and not only Irish.
Yes but Steve if there is an incoming European directive it will effect the UK just the same as NI surely??
I have done a number of bankruptcies involving living in Newry. The last time a client appeared (he got through) the Judge commented that Newry must be like London or New York, as soo many people wanted to move there.
She has caught on to this. if you are making the move, go to Belfast. Get a job, get a flat and submerse yourself in Belfast life.
I would not advise you to mention the wife living down south, it does not compute at all with you properly moving your COMI. The Judge always asks what connections you have with the South. You might be better "separating".

Hi steve, thanks for the reply, would it be ok to say that we are seperated wink wink? She is working in the south put only on a 3 day week, can the judge or the OR look into the revenue in the republic? I am assuming they can?
I eagerly await your response..
Kindest regards
Hi Steve, I think you are doing us all a wonderful service by giving us your pointers, so many thanks for that. Quick question, I alone have the debt, my wife is not part of my debt, would it then be okay to move up north to go through? Also, I have just got a job now and this job has good prospects regarding the long term, were my wife will be able to join me. So can I go through it alone up north, we were not married at the time of my loans?
Kindest regards
