‘Where a bankrupt wishes to challenge a pre-bankruptcy judgment against him in the ordinary civil court (i.e. appeal the judgment or apply to set the judgment aside, in the ordinary civil court), can the bankrupt just issue an application (N161 Appellant’s Notice or N244 Application Form)? In particular, does the bankrupt have standing (‘locus standi’ as it used to be known) – that is – the right or capacity – to issue the relevant application, or must somehow the trustee in bankruptcy (‘TIB’) be involved, and/or the bankruptcy court involved?’
