Kate Heaney from our Insolvency Team was instructed to act in an annulment application. The client was keen to resolve his historic bankruptcy from 2010 which was unbeknown to him until early 2023.
Our insolvency specialists thoroughly investigated the creditors for the historic bankruptcy. Interest on the debts had accrued significantly because of the time elapsed since the original Order. Our team was able to reach agreements with the creditors and the Official Receiver in relation to most aspects of the annulment application, but arguments had to be put to the Judge hearing the application regarding the interest being claimed.
The expertise of our team meant that our client was able to benefit from a quick resolution in which annulment was ordered successfully within 3 months of us being instructed. The Judge hearing the application also agreed with our reasoning and ordered that no interest was payable on any of the debts which was a brilliant result for our client.
