I posted sometime ago about a local District Registrar who refused a creditor's petition on the grounds that the debtor had not been given the opportunity to consider other options - in the local paper it is reported that the same Judge did exactly the same last week. I am wondering if it is this particular Judge who is being sympathetic or a change of attitude by the Judiciary in principle. J

I have a feeling that all judges are supposed to check that you have received the appropriate advice about your options before granting bankruptcy.

I was asked if I had taken advice before the judge granted my BR. When I said that my IP had advised me he asked had I taken any further advice to make sure it was in my best interests.

Same here, both the clerk and the judge asked if hubby had taken advice and by whom.

Assuming the individuals had not taken advice, the judge is right.
