Before
Christmas we Blogged a few times about the Insolvency Service charging SoS fees
in annulments even where third party monies were being used to pay the
bankrupt’s debts. Our last Article,
which you here indicated that His
Honour Judge Behrens had reserved judgement on a High Court case dealing with
this issue. We have just received the
judgment and as promised are sharing the result with you. Great news, the Judge agreed that the
Insolvency Service were wrong, and where an annulment is being paid using third
party funds rather than funds from assets realised by the trustee, then SoS
fees are not chargeable.
