Bankruptcy

Howell v Hughes and others [2019] EWHC 1559 (Ch), [2019] All ER (D) 132 (Apr)

The applicant’s application for a stay, and to re-impose an earlier order in the relevant bankruptcy proceedings, failed. The Chancery Division held that the circumstances did not justify a general stay of the order. Further, the balance came down in favour of refusing to exercise the discretion in r 10.32(5) of the Insolvency Rules 2016 to order that there be no notification of the bankruptcy order to the Land Registry or publication in the Gazette.

Barrister

Ekperigin v Bar Standards Board [2019] EWHC 1292 (Admin), [2019] All ER (D) 99 (Jun)

The respondent Bar Standards Board’s decision to refuse the appellant’s application for a complete exemption from the non-practising period (the first six months) of pupillage as a whole had been one well within the discretion of the panel. The Administrative Court, in dismissing the appellant’s appeal against that decision, held that it was not wrong, but wholly justifiable and right.

Costs
