High Court, in an application to vary a maintenance order in the case of a director who had misused company funds for personal expenses and submitted false evidence to the court, and then declared bankruptcy in his home country, suspends the director's maintenance payments at a reduced rate of €3,000 per month during the bankruptcy process or for six months, whichever is shorter, acknowledging the director's financial disclosure to the insolvency service, and allowing the bankruptcy process to conclude or to reassess the situation in six months.
