SCHEME OF REPAYMENT TO CREDITORS

MORE

Bankruptcy Decision RAIN

Reserved

Mr Justice C. W. Reaco, Senior Puisne Judge, at the Bank- ruptcy Court this morning reserved a decision on an applica- tion by a debtor for the approval of a scheme of repayment to creditors.

"This is the worst bankruptcy case I have ever seen," Mr Justice Recce remarked. He said the debtor, Chan Koon-pak, had borrowed money from people (amounting to $230,000) and originally asked the Court to be allowed to pay 25 per cent of his debt. After a public examina- tion and seeing the possible danger he was heading for, he was now offering 50 cents in the dollar.
