Statutory demands should only be served in respect of undisputed debts. If a statutory demand is based on a disputed debt, then an application can be made to have the statutory demand set aside. We advise creditors and debtors on how the court will assess a dispute and assist with applications to set aside statutory demands. We also assist in negotiations to repay or secure the debt to try and prevent the issue of bankruptcy proceedings. If you have been served with a statutory demand, then you need to seek help immediately. You only have 18 days within which to act, to prevent the issue of bankruptcy proceedings.
We assist trustees in bankruptcy with the realisation of assets and all other aspects of the bankruptcy process. We advise bankrupts on whether it is possible to annul their bankruptcy and assist them and their families with all types of claims brought by a trustee in bankruptcy, such as claims against the family home, preference claims, transactions at an undervalue claims and income payment arrangements. We also act for creditors of individuals in financial difficulties.
The family home is an important asset within most bankruptcies. A trustee in bankruptcy has three years to realise his or her interest in the family home. This can involve reaching agreement with a third party, usually a family member, to purchase the trustee’s interest or possession proceedings. We assist in negotiations with the trustee, including the extent and value of his or her interest and whether any equity of exoneration principles apply which are capable of reducing the interest claimed by the trustee.
