Does anyone else find a lawyer advocating "separating" to facilitate bankruptcy proceedings as being unethical?
Now we have posters following his lead "wink wink"
Dunno, but i cant see the difference in this and defrauding Social Welfare or Revenue?
Well I guess people are going to do this anyway, whether they get advice her on AAM or elsewhere. The problem for ordinary people is that they cannot afford to go directly to experts in Ireland, and most solicitors in Ireland would have no clue how to go about UK bankruptcy, meanwhile we're all looking at the list of wealthy developers who are already through the UK bankruptcy, with wives and familes and returning to the 'family home' and on the other side of the Atlantic we have David Drumm and the Baron of Ballsbridge spending thousands on legal fees, obscene amounts on rent, with their wives, who never seemingly worked, owning assets left right and centre. So it's very very difficult to say that ordinary people, who are now literally desparate, and we've had desparate cases on here, suicidal ones even, that they shouldn't be able to ask questions, and be informed as to what is best and what is not an option, it's not their fault that Ireland doesn't have a properly functioning bankrupcy system.
And we're now near the end of June, and no PIP's yet, AIB are writing off debt, secretly, (as was outlined to Burgess yesterday at the AGM) and the little protection people had in MARP is being completly watered down, at the banks insistence. And when we do finally get an insolvency regime, which has been written by the banks for the banks, as far as I can tell, people are going to be mighly shocked at the options they have then.
I do hear where you're coming from Sean, but one has to look at the bigger picture.
