DATE: 5 February 1986 PLACE: MELBOURNE REASONS FOR JUDGMENT On 10th September, 1984, the applicant was made bankrupt on her own application. She now applies fcr an order of discharge under s.150(1) of the Bankruptcy Act 1966. At the time when she became bankrupt, the bankrupt's unsecuced creditors amounted in total to $24,433.00. The Official Receiver has stated in his report that in his opinion the causes of the bankruptcy were the failure of Marvel Marketing Pty Ltd, a company with which she was concerned, and the personal guarantees given by the bankrupt for some of the debts of that company. Marvel Marketing Pty Ltd was a company which was incorporated to act as trustee of the Kilpatrick Family Trust, *he bankrupt and her former husband being the sole directors of the company at all times after 30th March 1979. Although the bankrupt performed secretarial services For the company, her husband was General Manager and salesman and the company appears to have been conducted in practical terms by her husband. The bankrupt's dealings with the company came to an end in May, 1981 after she separated from her husband. In consequence of an agreement entered into with him under s.37 of the Family Law Act, she had been given an indemnity in respect cr all the company debts which she had personally guaranteed. She expected her former husband to meet the company debts for which she was personally liable and when he became a bankrupt, she saw no alternative but to present her own vetition. Applications under s.150(1) depend very much on their own facts. In the present case I am satisfied that none of the matters referred to 1n s.150(6) of the Act 15 established and that there 1s no purpose which might usefuliy be served by declining to make an order. Accordingly, I make an order of discharge in respect of the bankrupt. I certify that this and the ol preceding pages are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of his Honour Mr Justice Jackson. Associate: WW L2 Date: £7 2 eb
