20 made bankrupt amid packed list

Up to 20 people were adjudicated to be bankrupt at the High Court yesterday, while dozens more cases were adjourned.

Ms Justice Miriam O’Regan presided over the weekly bankruptcy list, which included more than 80 applications concerning people at various stages of the process. The courtroom was packed with applicants and solicitors.

The list included individuals just entering the bankruptcy process and others in relation to whom applications for adjudication of bankruptcy were ready for determination.
