March 2, 1995.
Summary:
The defendant Roethel consented to judgment against him in the plaintiffs' action for losses suffered by his alleged maladmin-istration of their business and financial affairs. A Chambers judge subsequently ruled that the judgment debt survived Roethel's discharge from bankruptcy. Roethel appealed.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal.
Bankruptcy - Topic 8983
Discharge of debtor - Liabilities not released by discharge - Acts of defalcation in fiduciary capacity - Section 178(1)(d) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act provided that a discharge did not release a bankrupt from any debt or liability arising out of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation or defalcation while acting in a fiduciary capacity - The defendant consented to judgment against him for defalcations related to his administration of the plaintiffs' business and financial affairs - The British Columbia Court of Appeal affirmed that the judgment debt survived the defendant's discharge from bankruptcy.
