The latest hearing related to Katie Price’s bankruptcies has been adjourned so she can attend a “private interview” over her finances.The former glamour model was due to face questions from barristers in a specialist bankruptcy court on Tuesday, 27 August, in a hearing known as a public examination.
But a judge adjourned the hearing after the 46-year-old’s lawyers asked for her to attend a “private interview” with barristers representing the trustee of her bankruptcies.
As she left the courtroom in the Rolls Building in London, Price told journalists sitting in the public gallery: “I hope you reporters write a good story today, won’t you, all the bulls**t that you write, scumbags.” During the hearing, Bertie Beor-Roberts, for Price, said: “We are asking the court to adjourn the examination generally.” He continued: “The general purpose is to permit Ms Price to attend a private interview with the trustee and then to continue to engage constructively.” He added: “Ms Price is keen on cooperating but it’s not going to be the best answer that she can give today.There is a limit to the amount she can give.” Chief Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Nicholas Briggs agreed to the adjournment and asked Price whether she would give an undertaking to the court that she would attend the private interview on September 24.
He said: “It is important that the administration of justice is maintained, so if you fail to comply with the undertaking you will be at risk of being arrested.” When asked whether she would give the undertaking, Price replied: “I do.” Dressed in all black and accompanied by another woman, she did not answer questions from reporters as she left in a black cab following the end of the hearing.
