If a sole trader is insolvent and owes money to taxman and suppliers can his wife be chased for the debt if she has savings/assets in her own name, even though she had nothing to do with the business?
Haven't there been a number of cases in the last couple of years where transfers of assets by individuals (mainly developers) to their spouses have been set aside by the courts?
That's what I assumed Padraigb was referring to, siphoning off assets to your spouse to avoid your creditors...
