Competing Interests of a non-Bankrupt Spouse

On the 19 September the Bankruptcy & Family Law Legislation Amendment Act 2005 was passed by the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia in response to "longstanding issues concerning the interaction between bankruptcy and family law which have created uncertainty as to the competing rights of creditors and of the bankrupt spouse". This seminar looks at the competing interests of a non-bankrupt spouse and a trustee in bankruptcy since those amendments.
