Re Henderson [2017] NZHC 474 [2017] NZHC 474 16 March 2017

CaseChat Overview and Summary

David Ian Henderson sought permission to be involved in the management of twelve entities. Henderson was discharged from bankruptcy on 27 January 2017, subject to restrictions under s 299 of the Insolvency Act 2006. Henderson's applications were dismissed, and the applications were adjourned with leave to re-apply. Henderson's applications were dismissed as the Court was not satisfied that the public interest would be protected if Henderson was allowed to be involved in the management of the entities. Henderson's applications lacked sufficient detail, including information about the governance and management of the entities, and Henderson's role within them. The Court concluded that Henderson's approach to the applications suggested that he had not recognised the issues of unfitness raised by his past conduct. Henderson's applications were adjourned with leave to re-apply if they were amended and supported by additional evidence.
