Family and Federal Circuit Court reform
Part 1: How might this impact a trustee in bankruptcy and/or a liquidator?
On 1 January 2019, the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court (family law division) will be amalgamated and a new Federal Circuit Court and Family Court of Australia (FCFCA) will be created.
In the current climate, trustees in bankruptcy are finding themselves parties/intervenors to what are often emotionally driven and lengthy proceedings commenced by a bankrupt or their spouse in the Family Court or the Federal Circuit Court of Australia (family law division) by default. A liquidator may also be drawn into the proceedings because the family company has been wound up.
How will the proposed divisions of the FCFCA better place a trustee in bankruptcy/liquidator in family law proceedings to reach a sensible commercial outcome as soon as practicably possible with the non-bankrupt spouse or at the hearing, if at all?
Daniela Naidenov, Director at Daniela Fazio Lawyers Pty Ltd and Irina Hoskinson, Barrister, will address these issues by considering the current problems trustees in bankruptcy/liquidators face, and how those problems have been addressed to date by the proposed reform.
