A person was living in England for 40 years but was originally from Ireland. The were a builder (not a Company) in england and a deal went wrong. He ended up with a High Court Order issued against him for over a million.
He said that he returned home to Ireland 6 months before the Order issued and queried if the Order is valid if he was outside the jurisdiction when it issued.
My instinct is that it would be valid, as he would have been resident in England at the time the proceedings started and the fact that he moved 6 months before the end, doesnt have any effect. Otherwise, its a very big loop-hole for people to avoid liability for debts.
Anyone got any opinion on it?
