    All the normal human fears and emotions had come up with my client, who I will call Paul for the sake of this article.

    ‘I never thought I’d be going bankrupt’. ‘Can I still pay my creditors back after my bankruptcy if I come into money’? ‘What will the courts be like’? ‘Will there be lots of people in the courtroom’? ‘Is there a jury’? ‘What shoul
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    d I wear’? ‘You’ll be there with me won’t you’? ‘Will anybody be nasty to me during my bankruptcy hearing’? ‘Will I go to prison’?

    We had looked carefully at all the solutions for getting out of debt and bankruptcy just kept coming up as the solution to Paul’s debt issues. I had allayed his fears on all his questions and 4 weeks later we were stan

    Examples of combination products may in

    Before the bankruptcy hearing

    As we sat drinking coffee, we both went over the 36-page document we had filled in for the bankruptcy hearing. It was filled in triplicate as required by the English and Welsh cou
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    ‘It looks great, but also daunting looking at your financial life inside all these pages’, said Paul.

    Looking back over the document it was still clear that bankruptcy was the correct option for resolving Paul’s debt issues.

    Paul was still a little nervous, as is natural, so we went over the ‘running order’ for the next 50 minutes or so. Thi
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    s helped calm the bankruptcy nerves and with no further questions we walked what Paul said seemed like a long 200 yards to the courts.

    At the bankruptcy courts

    I’m always reminded of the airport security arriving at the court for a bankruptcy hearing. Sometimes you walk through the airport style metal detector and then out comes the wand

    Do you know, I have never made it through the metal detectors at any bankruptcy court without the metal detectors setting off! This came much to the amusement of Paul as I had already pre-warned him but it helped lighten the mood and the guards were equally jovial about the whole matter.

    The bankruptcy clerk

    We were greeted through the door with the words ‘no Mr. Smith, this all needs to be filled out correctly before you see a judge’.

    There was some poor fellow that was on his second visit to the courts trying to do his own bankruptcy documents. T
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

    Poor old Mr. Smith was near breakdown as tears were welling up in his eyes. He was asked to sit back down and fill in his documents whilst the bankruptcy clerk attended to Paul and myself.

    ‘You’re back again’, the bankruptcy clerk recognised me. How they do this wi
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

    It only took a few moments and 3 questions to satisfy the bankruptcy clerk that everything was in order. She commented ‘it’s nice to be able to read the documents, you should see some of them that come here’.

    Paul and myself took a seat next to Mr. Smith and I introduced myself and passed him a business card. After a brief chat I was flicking through the pages he had filled out. Bankruptcy was clearly the wrong option for this guy and I suggested that he wait for about half an ho

    The bankruptcy clerk returned, receipt in hand, noted that Mr. Smith was nowhere to be seen and ushered us into a side room. A few formalities and Paul was then swearing an affidavit on a religious book (the courts have a number of religious books available for this purpose) an

    we were then told to wait outside court number 2 for the judge to call us forward.

    The bankruptcy hearing

    No wigs, no dark wood paneled furniture, no jury, no ushers frantically capturing every word. Bankruptcy hearings are often a one-to-one hearing between the debtor and the county court judge. As I was also present that made 3 of us a

    Paul confirmed his name and address. He also confirmed that he wanted to go bankrupt. The judge then turned to me and started with the tougher questions but nothing that I haven’t been asked before. After the judge went over the implications of bankruptcy, re

    nforcing exactly what I had told Paul twice before. A few minutes later the order was signed at 10.37am (yes it is recorded that precisely).

    The judge then spent a few minutes chatting with me about the work I do and we were soon out of the chambers.

    After the hearing

    Paul already looked like a different guy. Well who wouldn’t look happie

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

    We waited back at the bankruptcy clerk desk. Yet another poor soul had got some of their paperwork wrong but obviously not on the scale of Mr. Smith earlier. Still they were having to air their finances to all and sundry whilst they got the paperwork right. The clerk will help with the odd bit of information bu

    It wasn’t long before we were back in the side room, court order printed out and telephone in hand booking a meeting to see the Official Receiver.

    Every bankruptcy case in the UK is reviewed by the Official Receiver. We booked the next meeting with the Official Receiver and left the courts.

    I then went off to find my latte and have a chat with Mr. Smith!
