In the case against former dentistry lecturer Dolrudee Jumlongras, Mahidol University (MU) and the Office of Higher Education Commission (OHEC) will soon join a meeting of creditors to file a debt repayment request in two months.
This follows the Central Bankruptcy Court on Monday issuing an absolute receivership order against the former MU lecturer, who has allegedly violated the terms of her Master’s and PhD scholarship and now works at Harvard University in the US.
Courts of Justice spokesman Suebpong Sripongkul Tuesday explained the receivership order, which would prevent Dolrudee from doing anything with her assets except through the appointed receiver. Suebpong said it was issued in Dolrudee’s absence on grounds she did not have any assets in Thailand to be impounded.
Dolrudee – who is not yet a bankrupt person pending further legal proceedings – now has seven days to meet the appointed receiver and explain herself, Suebpong said.
If she is not available, the receiver would call a meeting of the creditors to discuss how to manage her assets, whether the debt could be settled, or if the court’s order for Dolrudee’s bankrupt person status were needed, he said.
