- High Court
The court concluded the Official Assignee had established sufficient public interest and risk to justify delaying automatic discharge: the respondent repeatedly failed to disclose assets and income, concealed bank accounts and a passport/name change, obtained credit and loans without disclosure, controlled a relative-owned company, travelled without consent, caused losses to creditors and members of the public, and faces criminal charges; these findings warranted extending the bankruptcy until 25 November 2019 to protect the public and creditors.
