TY - JOUR AU - Symes, Christopher F. AU - Wellard, Mark PY - 2014 TI - After-Acquired Income and Contributions by Australian Bankrupts: Can Pay, Should Pay, Making Them Pay! JF - QUT Law Review; Vol 14 No 3 (2014): QUT Law Review Special Edition: Bankruptcy DO - 10.5204/qutlr.v14i3.557 KW - after-acquired income, bankruptcy N2 - This article explores the issue of income of bankrupts from the historical, theoretical and legislative viewpoints. After setting out the foundation for our present law, the article reviews the current statistics on the use of the existing legislative income contribution regime and analyses the jurisprudence which has made the notion of after-acquired income - and the ability of bankrupts to invest it - opaque. The article then canvasses the ‘can pay, should pay’ notion of income contributions by bankrupts together with the current debate on ‘making them pay'. UR - https://lr.law.local/article/view/557
