The defendant had been ordered to pay sums under a confiscation order. He asked for an extension of time to pay. The revenue said that no power existed. He was bankrupt. His only asset was an interest in the matrimonial home. His estranged wife refused to lower the sale price further to allow a sale. He was committed for the default in payment. He now sought judicial review.
Held: No error had been pointed to in the judge’s exercise of his discretion. The defendant had made many assertions which might have been supported, but produced no evidence at any of the hearings.
