BANKRUPTCY - COHABITANTS

14/04/2011

The sale of a property purchased as tenants in common in equal shares by two cohabitants was delayed for twelve years by the trustee in bankruptcy of one of them. Was it appropriate that the occupier, who had had to wait all this time to be given her share of the proceeds of sale, had her share reduced by ‘occupation rent’ payable to the trustee in bankruptcy?
