Join us on 22 February 2023 as we hear from Timothy Gorton of the Victorian Bar discussing the recent Court of Appeal decision in Barodawala v Perinparajah [2022] VSCA 198.

The case concerns the little-considered “fraud exception” to whether a debt is provable in bankruptcy, with the Court of Appeal overturning the previously accepted (if little interrogated) position. The case is of particular interest because it is an example of a principle being accepted for many years based upon only one or two cases without any real considered authority.

The briefing is kindly sponsored by our Gold Partner, Rothwell Lawyers.
