spyguy Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Missed this. I cannot remember the story being posted. Just read an article in the FT about Ireland trying to Irish bankrupts doing the bankruptcy in the UK. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/1a29ba22-c681-11e1-963a-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1zplzyO7j Tom McFeely http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0615/tom-mcfeely-has-british-bankruptcy-overturned.html ' The former provisional IRA member claims to have lived in London since 2008 and hold a British passport. In court document he said: "The appellant wants my bankruptcy conducted in the south of Ireland because she knows it will place me in greater difficulties securing a discharge. "I maintain this is a breach of my human rights and that it is objectionable to expose me as a British citizen to the punitive bankruptcy laws of another country." ' Makes Mr Anthea look honest.

The Masked Tulip Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Yes, this has been posted before a few times but always worth seeing again. There was that Irish boy band chap a few weeks ago who had allegedly done something similar re property deals gone wrong in Eire but going bankrupt in the UK. I really do not understand this setup - was it some kind of agreement from the 1920s. I mean, if we turned up in Holland or Greece wanting to go bankrupt for debts in the UK surely they would tell us to go somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plnouparouvpred Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It takes up to 12 years to be discharged as a bankrupt in Ireland opposed to one year in the UK.When asked on bankruptcy papers 'are you involved in legal action?' Mr McFeely simply ticked the no box. He said he read it as just relating to legal proceedings in the UK Yes, breach of his human rights!

Executive Sadman Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 The very essence of having a common market is that you need to have common rules We used to call that a superstate. This doesnt neccesarily cost british taxpayers anything? Right? So long as all his creditors are in Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveky Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I would say that most property developers that I've seen could do with going on hunger strike, fat cvnts (this bloke included judging by that Irish Independent photo). That's why they all drive Range Rovers/RR Sports because they need the strengthened suspension for their obese arses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
