Bankruptcy of BRYERS v OFFICIAL ASSIGNEE [2014] NZHC 2920
- Citation
- [2014] NZHC 2920
- Court
- High Court
The Court held that fairness requires a bankrupt to have an entitlement to file relevant affidavits to supplement the Official Assignee's report and the s 177 examination; permitting affidavits does not defeat the statutory examination regime or the objectives of the Insolvency Act and can be controlled by case management, and therefore the bankrupt was granted leave to file and serve affidavits relating to relevant matters (in this case conduct under s 149).
