Not sure how to phrase this exactly, but here goes...

I have recently lost an ERA hearing case against a former employer. Long and nasty story cut short their lawyer is threatening making me declare myself bankrupt, as I'm not able to pay the "obscene" amount he is trying to claim against me.

Whilst I'm hopeful this is going to be sorted out fairly soon, as it has been ongoing for over a year now, I'm curious is this is actually possible?

If he can enforce this I'm a little concerned about what that would mean to my PR Visa and what, if any, the implications would be for my family.

Sadly, this has been an experience that I have learned many other immigrants have been through, but I've had some tremendous lessons learned as a result of this.

Any thoughts on the processes involved anyone??
