This is the Federal Court Judgement by Justice North after this trustee was found to have fucked over numerous bankrupts For a long period of time he had been protected by ITSA, Veronique Ingram and the corrupt Adam Toma
23 April 2012
Today, Mr Paul Anthony Pattison, of Melbourne Victoria, was deregistered as a trustee in Bankruptcy.
The decision follows a Federal Court of Australia order in July 2011 accepting Mr Pattison’s voluntary resignation from his 272 active matters.
Mr Pattison resigned as trustee of these matters and gave an undertaking that he would cease to carry out, consent to, or otherwise accept appointment as a trustee, unless and until he produced evidence in a form acceptable to ITSA or to the Court demonstrating he has the practice and financial capacity to adequately and properly carry out his duties as a trustee.
Mr Pattison resigned as trustee of these matters and gave an undertaking that he would cease to carry out, consent to, or otherwise accept appointment as a trustee, unless and until he produced evidence in a form acceptable to ITSA or to the Court demonstrating he has the practice and financial capacity to adequately and properly carry out his duties as a trustee.
Since that time Mr Pattison has not been administering any bankruptcy matters. Mr Pattison had been the subject of lengthy investigations conducted by ITSA relating to his capacity to adequately and properly carry out his duties as a registered trustee and to re-start a personal insolvency practice.
As a result of these concerns a statutory committee was convened by the Inspector-General in Bankruptcy. The committee included an experienced registered trustee nominated by the Insolvency Practitioners Association of Australia.
After weighing the evidence and interviewing Mr Pattison the committee concluded there was sufficient evidence to warrant the cancellation of Mr Pattison’s registration. Upon receipt of the committee’s report this morning, the Inspector-General in Bankruptcy gave effect to the decision and immediately moved to deregister Mr Pattison.
Veronique Ingram, ITSA Chief Executive and Inspector-General in Bankruptcy, said that she appreciated that the committee decision to cancel Mr Pattison’s registration is one that is made following due process and intense deliberation.
“In accordance with my obligations prescribed in the Bankruptcy Act I have today formally given effect to the committee’s decision.
“The Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia has a key role to play in maintaining the integrity of Australia’s personal insolvency system.
“ITSA will continue to work with practitioners and take proactive disciplinary action where appropriate to ensure stakeholders maintain confidence in the system," she said.
