EX TEMPORE REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
In relation to the separate application by Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill for discharge from their respective bankruptcies,
I propose to grant the relief sought.
Sequestration orders were made on 23 July, ,1990. I
have taken into account the trustee's report and the circumstances leading up to the applicants' bankruptcies which arise out of a failed restaurant venture involving Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill. I have also taken into account their respective ages and, in particular, the offer of employment which involves both Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill being appointed to the board of a company to be formed in Australia, but to perform duties in relation to a tourist venture in Guam.
Mr. O'Neillrs only source of income is presently a war services pension. I mention his age: he is 61 years of age. The remuneration that both he and his wife will receive from their participation in the G u m venture is tied to their respective performances. Taking into account all these
. matters as revealed in the material before me I have decided,
as I have said, to grant the application.
I certify that this and the preceding
page is a true copy of the reasons
for judgment herein of the HonourableMr. Justice Drummond. Associate:
Date : 25 May, 1992
