The Gambling Commission is investigating claims that the online casino company LeoVegas accepted 20,000 from a problem gambler who had stolen the money from his mother, and then bombarded him with emails encouraging him to keep betting.

Two years after the much-touted Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC) was implemented, slow progress of cases is becoming a cause for concern. High profile, large accounts such as that of Essar Steel, which has been undergoing resolution for over 600 days, bring to the fore the grave issue of excessive delays in the process.

Many banks had factored in substantial recoveries from accounts filed for insolvency under IBC in the March 2019 quarter. Resolution of many of these cases have now been pushed into fiscal 2020.

What is leading to the undue delays in the IBC process? Can the Code, having evolved over the past two years, start delivering time-bound resolution, as expected at the outset?

We break down the IBC conundrum into several p…

Potential new home owners have been left out of pocket or facing delays as home builder Mega Homes faces a push to wind up the company.

Creditors in the building industry are claiming to be owed sums as high as $480,000 each by the builder, Victorian Supreme Court filings show.

It follows the liquidation two years ago of the Victorian arm of Watersun Homes, WSH Group, with The Age reporting at the time that the administrators had reached an agreement with Mega Homes and another group known as VM Builders to contact former customers.

The Williamstown-based companys website has been taken down and replaced with a message saying the group was not taking on any new enquiries and suggesting existing customers call head office.
